Pharmacy First

Get care without the GP delay

NHS UTI service provides a convenient and efficient way for women with uncomplicated UTIs to receive timely treatment, reducing the need for GP appointments and ensuring prompt access to care.

NHS UTI service allows women aged 16-64 with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) to receive NHS-funded antibiotics if appropriate without needing a GP appointment. If the infection is severe or requires further assessment, you will need to refer to a clinician through varying services i.e. GP Practice, NHS 111, walk-in-centre, A and E or 999.

How Pharmacy First works:

Pharmacy First consultations are free.

If you need treatment, you’ll get NHS medicines free if you usually get free prescriptions, or pay the normal charge if you don’t.

Pharmacy First online consultations are quick, usually taking around 10 to 15 minutes.

If treatment is suitable, you can often get NHS medicines the same day, helping you feel better sooner without waiting for a GP appointment.
