The NHS Pharmacy First service allows trained community pharmacists to assess and treat selected minor illnesses. In many cases, this means you can receive advice and NHS-funded treatment directly from the pharmacy without needing a GP appointment first.
Accessing healthcare through our pharmacy is simple, fast, and professional. Follow these steps to get the advice or treatment you need.
Simply book an appointment online or visit our Doncaster pharmacy. We can often see you quickly without the need for a GP wait.
Speak with our pharmacist in a private room. We will assess your symptoms and check your eligibility for the NHS pathway.
If clinically appropriate, you may receive advice and NHS treatment such as a medicine supply under the service pathway.
If your symptoms are outside the service criteria or need urgent review, we will signpost or refer you to the right care.
We are dedicated to providing the residents of Doncaster with reliable, accessible healthcare support directly in the community.
