Pharmacy First

Pharmacy First will launch on 31 January 2024, subject to the appropriate digital systems being in place to support these services. This will be a new advanced service, that will include seven new clinical pathways, as well as urgent repeat medicine supply and referrals for minor illness, replacing the community pharmacist consultation service. The clinical pathways element of Pharmacy First will enable pharmacists to offer advice to patients and supply NHS medicines (including some prescription-only medicines under patient group directions), where clinically appropriate, to treat common health conditions.
