PHARAMCY FIRST

COMMUNITY PHARMACY FIRST SCHEME

Pharmacists can give you advice on a range of conditions and suggest medicines that can help.

They may also be able to offer treatment and some prescription medicine for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP (this is called Pharmacy First). Conditions they can treat as part of Pharmacy First are:

  • earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
  • impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
  • infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
  • shingles (aged 18 years and over)
  • sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
  • sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
  • urinary tract infections or UTIs (women aged 16 to 64 years)

If you go to a pharmacy with one of these conditions, the pharmacist will offer you advice, treatment or refer you to a GP or other healthcare professional if needed.

They will then update your GP health record.

If you are not within these age ranges, a pharmacist can still offer advice, but you may need to see a GP for treatment.

New Building

Unfortunately this scheme has been put on “pause” by the ICB (Integrated Care Board who has replaced the CCG) the below is a copy and paste of their comments.

 

“Following discussions with the NHS and the District Valuer we have agreed to pause the premises development at Lindley Group Practice.  This decision has been taken due to the cost of the current proposal. We are now reviewing the options available to us and will update patients as soon as possible.”

 

Obviously we are very disappointed with this outcome and am sure you all will be too.  The ICB have started another feasibility Survey to see if there are any other options within the area and are also having discussion with the hospital trust.

 

In the meantime we will continue to deliver the best service we can from the current premises.
