Pharmacy First
Pharmacists can give you advice on a range of conditions and suggest medicines that can help.
They may also be able to offer treatment and some prescription medicine for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP (this is called Pharmacy First). Conditions they can treat as part of Pharmacy First are:
- earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
- impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
- infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
- shingles (aged 18 years and over)
- sinusitis (aged 12 years and over)
- sore throat (aged 5 years and over)
- urinary tract infections or UTIs (women aged 16 to 64 years
If you go to a pharmacy with one of these conditions, the pharmacist will offer you advice, treatment or refer you to a GP or other healthcare professional if needed.
More information can be found here.
Home Visits
Please be aware, we only do home visits for house bound patients where a relative or carer is unable to bring the patient into the surgery.
Please telephone before 10.00am to request a home visit. This enables our doctors to plan their visits so that patients can be seen as soon as possible. Requests received after mid-day will normally be visited the following day unless medically urgent.
Occasionally the doctor may decide that a home visit is inappropriate and agree some other course of action with you. Please request home visits only when it is really necessary.
Chaperones
All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination or procedure where they feel one is required. Sometimes you may wish to be accompanied by a family member of friend. At other times you may wish to have a formal chaperone present i.e. a trained member of staff. Please ask a memeber of staff if you would like a chaperone with you.
