Pharmacy First-Sinusitis

Sinusitis, commonly referred to as a sinus infection, is the inflammation of the sinus cavities—air-filled spaces located behind the forehead, cheeks, and eyes. This condition typically occurs when these cavities become blocked and infected, resulting in discomfort and a range of symptoms. As a prevalent health issue, a clear understanding of sinusitis is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Blood Pressure Checks

Your blood pressure plays a key role in your overall health, yet many people are unaware when it’s too high. Left unchecked, it can silently contribute to serious conditions like heart disease and stroke. That’s why regular monitoring is so important. Drop by and speak with one of our friendly pharmacy professionals—we’ll check your blood pressure and guide you on any next steps, all in a supportive and confidential setting.

Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax naturally protects your ears, but when it accumulates excessively, it can cause discomfort and affect your hearing. To help ease the process before your appointment, gently softening the wax with olive oil or an over-the-counter ear wax softener can be beneficial. If these methods don’t provide relief, our experienced team offers a safe and effective ear wax removal service to restore your comfort. Let us help you hear clearly again.

Emergency Contraception

If you need urgent contraception, our pharmacy offers confidential advice and access to Emergency Hormonal Contraception, including the morning-after pill. We’re here to support you in making informed decisions quickly and discreetly, whenever you need it.

Pharmacy First-Acute otitis Media

Pharmacists can assess and treat middle ear infections under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme. This service provides fast access to advice, pain relief and, when needed, antibiotics, without needing a GP appointment. It offers quick, convenient care for ear pain, fever and discomfort at your local pharmacy.

Pharmacy First-Impetigo

If you’re 18 or older and experiencing a skin infection, our Pharmacy First service offers free expert advice and treatment from our trained pharmacists. We’re here to help you manage your symptoms quickly and effectively.

Pharmacy First-Insect Bite

An insect bite occurs when an insect pierces the skin, typically to feed or as a defensive response, often injecting saliva or venom in the process. While most insect bites are mild and harmless, some may trigger allergic reactions or transmit infections. Although common, insect bites that become infected require timely medical attention to prevent complications.

Pharmacy First-Shingles

If you’re aged 18 or over and experiencing shingles, our Pharmacy First service provides free expert advice and treatment from our trained pharmacists. We’re here to help you manage your symptoms effectively and comfortably.

Pharmacy First-Sore throat

A sore throat, medically known as pharyngitis, is characterized by irritation, scratchiness, or pain in the throat, which often intensifies with swallowing. Although typically a symptom of an underlying condition, recognising its causes and associated symptoms is important for appropriate diagnosis and effective management.

Pharmacy First-Urinary Tract Infection

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that can affect any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. UTIs are more common in women, largely due to anatomical differences such as a shorter urethra. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment—typically with antibiotics—are crucial for relieving symptoms and preventing potential complications.
