Herefordshire residents can now access an expanded healthcare service at a number of community pharmacies as part of NHS Pharmacy First service.

Pharmacies are often open for long hours and accessible to everybody. Highly trained pharmacists can now assess, treat, and where appropriate, supply NHS medicines for a range of medical conditions. Advice from the pharmacist can be offered in a private consultation room and there’s often no need to book an appointment. You can telephone the pharmacy in advance before you visit if you want to.

To find out more visit the Pharmacy First page on the Talk Community Directory.

The Pharmacy First Service also offers Blood pressure checks (for people over 40 years – it is important to Know your Numbers!) and Contraception services.

Find out more on the NHS Website, or ask in any pharmacy.
