💊 Coming soon to Tean Pharmacy!!

From this autumn, the NHS is expanding what participating community pharmacies can treat without you needing a GP appointment first.

The five new conditions are:

🔹 Migraines
🔹 Acne
🔹 Scabies
🔹 Outer ear infections in adults
🔹 Hay fever / seasonal allergic rhinitis in children

Where the service is available, a qualified pharmacist prescriber can assess you and, if appropriate, prescribe treatment there and then.

It builds on Pharmacy First, which already covers conditions including sore throats, sinusitis, shingles, infected insect bites and uncomplicated UTIs.

That could mean quicker treatment for patients and fewer unnecessary pressures on GPs and hospitals.

⚠️ It won’t be available everywhere immediately. The new service starts rolling out at participating pharmacies this autumn.

Definitely one worth knowing about and sharing. 💊
