Pharmacy First - Sandwell Pharmacy Group Get Expert NHS Advice & Treatment
Sandwell Pharmacy Group is proud to offer the Pharmacy First service, a new NHS initiative giving you faster access to expert care and treatment for common conditions, without needing to see a GP.
What is Pharmacy First?
Sandwell Pharmacy Group brings you Pharmacy First. This NHS initiative empowers our pharmacists to assess and treat seven common minor health conditions directly, without needing a GP appointment. It is fast, convenient, and designed to ease pressure on local surgeries.
You can speak directly with one of our trained pharmacists in-store, who can assess your symptoms and provide advice, treatment, and medication where appropriate, all free of charge on the NHS.
What Can We Help With?
How to Access the Service. Simply walk into your Sandwell Pharmacy Group and ask our team about Pharmacy First. No appointment necessary.
You may also be referred directly by your GP, NHS 111, or some A&E departments.
If your symptoms match any of the above, you may not need to book a GP appointment — just visit us and ask for a Pharmacy First consultation.
No Appointment Needed
You can walk in at a time that suits you. Our pharmacist will take you through a private consultation and recommend the best course of action. If needed, we can supply medicines directly, all as part of the NHS service.
