What is Pharmacy First Scotland?
NHS Pharmacy First Scotland is a service that allows community pharmacies to provide expert assistance in treating conditions such as sore throats, earaches, and cold sores, as well as common clinical conditions like urinary tract infections (UTIs). Pharmacy teams offer advice, treatment, or referral to other healthcare professionals if necessary.
This service helps people access the appropriate care in the right location, eliminating the need to visit their GP practice or local Accident and Emergency Department for non-urgent treatment.
