Pharmacy First lets our pharmacist assess and treat seven common conditions on the NHS — including supplying antibiotics and other prescription medicines where appropriate. Every Pharmacy First consultation is carried out by the pharmacist personally, never by counter staff, in our private consultation room. No appointment, no waiting weeks: just walk in and ask.
Serving Chudleigh, Chudleigh Knighton, Bovey Tracey, Kingsteignton, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and the surrounding Devon villages.
What we can treat
Under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme, our pharmacist can assess and treat the following conditions — including supplying prescription-only medicines where appropriate — without you needing to see a GP first.
Assessment of painful, scratchy or swollen throats, with treatment or antibiotics supplied where clinically appropriate.
Ear pain in children and young people, assessed in our consultation room with treatment provided where suitable.
Blocked, painful sinuses lasting longer than usual — we can advise on relief and supply treatment where needed.
Bites or stings that have become red, swollen, hot or painful can be assessed and treated promptly.
A common, contagious skin infection causing sores and blisters — quick treatment helps stop it spreading.
A painful, blistering rash — early assessment matters, as antiviral treatment works best when started quickly.
Urinary tract infections in women aged 16–64 can be assessed and treated with antibiotics where appropriate.
Come in anyway — our pharmacist can advise on a huge range of minor illnesses, and will refer you to your GP or another service if that's the right place for you.
