Get help with common conditions – without a GP appointment

If you have a common health condition, you may be able to get advice, treatment and support directly from your local pharmacy through NHS Pharmacy First.

Our trained pharmacy team can assess your symptoms, provide advice and, where appropriate, recommend or supply treatment for a range of common conditions — without the need to see your GP first.

Our Pharmacy also offers the enhanced Pharmacy First Plus service which can support you with a range of common conditions, including:

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Impetigo
• Infected insect bites
• Shingles
• Sinusitis
• Sore throats
• Acute ear infections
• Other conditions covered by the Pharmacy First Plus service

Your pharmacist will ask you some questions about your symptoms and may carry out an assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment.

How does it work?

Book an appointment or pop into Linlithgow Pharmacy: book an appointment or call in and speak to a member of our pharmacy team about your symptoms.

Have a consultation: Our pharmacist will assess your symptoms and discuss the best treatment or advice for you.

Get the help you need: Where appropriate, treatment can be provided directly by the pharmacy.

If your symptoms are not suitable for Pharmacy First Plus, we can advise you on the most appropriate next step.
