Questions people usually ask

Is Pharmacy First really free?

Yes. The Pharmacy First consultation is a free NHS service. If you are supplied a medicine, the usual NHS prescription charge applies unless you are exempt.

Do I need to see my GP first?

No. You can come straight to Tiffenbergs Chemist. For the conditions covered, a pharmacist can assess you and supply treatment if it is appropriate.

Will I definitely get medicine?

Not always. This is an NHS assessment, so the pharmacist only supplies treatment when it is clinically appropriate. If it is not, they will explain the best next step.

Do I need an appointment?

You can book online for a set time, or call in. Booking ahead means you are seen quickly and in private.
