Pharmacy First is a new way for you to get quick healthcare help from your local pharmacy. It’s designed to make it easier to get treatment for common problems without needing to see a doctor first.
When you visit your pharmacist, they can give you advice, offer the right medicine, and guide you on how to take care of yourself.
Pharmacy First is all about using the expertise of pharmacists in your community. They’re trained to help you with minor health issues, so you can feel better faster, closer to home.
