Pharmacy First is a scheme designed to help you get the help you need without a visit to your GP. Unfortunately GP appointments can be tricky to get at the moment, and when you’re unwell you just want help fast. That’s why we’re here to help.
If you’re feeling under the weather in Earls Barton, Northampton pay us a visit and we can help diagnose, recommend treatment and prescribe medication if needed.
With the Pharmacy First service at Earls Barton you can visit our pharmacy and get fast treatment for the following common conditions.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Sinusitis
- Sore Throat
- Mild Ear Infection
- Infected Insect Bite
- Impetigo
- Shingles
You don’t need an appointment, but walk-ins may have to wait for a pharmacist to be free. If you’d like to book an appointment call us on 01604 812736 or contact us below.
When you visit our pharmacy, one of our team will carry out a consultation to get some key information. This will include how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms, how severe your symptoms are and if they’re impacting your day to day life.
Once this is complete we’ll either prescribe medication to help you, or give you advice and potentially a referral to get any additional help you need.
For each of the conditions we can help with through Pharmacy First, there are some conditions for accessing the service, usually the age of the patient. This is because for some age groups these symptoms need to be looked at by a GP to rule out anything potentially serious.
If you need medication to manage symptoms, our pharmacists are able to dispense the medication, even antibiotics if necessary, to save you a trip to the GP.
