More everyday conditions to be treated at pharmacies
From this autumn, people will be able to walk into their participating pharmacy and get on-the-spot treatment for acne, migraines, scabies, ear infections and rhinitis, helping make people’s everyday lives easier.
This expansion of the Pharmacy First scheme will also help to ease pressure on GPs and A&E departments ahead of what could be another record-breaking winter for the NHS, ensuring emergency services can focus on those who need them most.
