Pharmacy First Northern Ireland

The Pharmacy First service is available at participating community pharmacies across Northern Ireland.
If you have an everyday health condition, you can use the Pharmacy First service to get advice and treatment from a local pharmacist, without waiting for an appointment to see your GP.

Many community pharmacies have longer opening hours including weekends and holidays, making them more accessible than a GP surgery. You can call into the pharmacy for a private consultation with the pharmacist without needing to make an appointment.

There are five services within Pharmacy First are listed on the page below.

Everyday Health 
Conditions

Struggling with managing your health? Don't know where to turn? Get help with everyday health conditions from professionals who are knowledgeable and caring. Don't let your health issues hold you back any longer. Take control of your well-being and get the support you need to live a happy and healthy life.

Emergency Hormonal Contraception

Our pharmacist will need to see the person that the emergency contraception is intended for, and will need to ask a few questions regarding the patients’ medical history. This is done in the privacy of our consultation room and everything discussed is in complete confidence.

Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) in Women

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by bacteria from poo entering the urinary tract. The bacteria enter through the tube that carries pee out of the body. Women have a shorter urethra than men. This means bacteria are more likely to reach the bladder or kidneys and cause an infection.

Sore Throat
Service

Sore throats are a frequent occurrence, but usually not a cause for concern. With time, they typically resolve on their own, lasting no longer than a week. So, there's no need to fret when the discomfort hits. Our pharmacy first service can help you to speedily recover.

Pilot Service for Treatment of Shingles

Shingles is a viral infection that manifests as a painful rash, affecting people of all ages but more commonly seen in the elderly. It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox and can leave lasting nerve pain. Early treatment is key to managing.

About Pharmacy First Northern Ireland
