Pharmacy First

All pharmacies are offering a service called Pharmacy First or Minor Ailment Scheme to patients who are registered with a GP Practice.

The Pharmacy First Service gives you the option of visiting your local pharmacist for minor ailments, the advice is always free and where necessary they are able to supply medicines (free of charge to those exempt from prescription charges). 

The service reduces the need for you to make an appointment with your local GP, use an out of hours NHS service or visit A&E. This means when you have a common condition you can visit your local pharmacy. 

Many pharmacies across Rotherham are open until late and at weekends, which is useful if you start to feel unwell with one of the minor ailments included in Pharmacy First and you don't need an appointment to access the service.

The following minor ailments are included in Pharmacy First:

  • Cough
