How can Think Pharmacy First help you?

We know that people visit their GP with minor illnesses that their local pharmacist could help with. Instead of booking a GP appointment, you can visit your local pharmacy instead, saving you time and with no appointment needed, you can just walk in.

All pharmacists can give advice and medicine if you need it that will help clear up the problem.

If your condition is more serious they will then refer you to your GP.

What’s more, many pharmacies are open in the evenings and on the weekends

The Practice has achieved its Contractual Requirement with NHS England and has activated the full Summary Care Record.

The Practice is Currently registered with the Care quality Commission who regulate Health and Social Care services. Their website can be found here

“Every patient has a named GP, however, you can see any GP of your choice in the practice. If you are not aware of who your named GP is and would like to know, please ask at reception”.

“This practice does not endorse any cold calling of patients by any company. Please be very careful who you give your personal & medications details to and if you are worried contact your local GP or pharmacist.”

The practice is participating in the Green Impact scheme.
