Pharmacy First Scheme Posted or Updated on 10 Jan 2020

If you are exempt from paying prescription charges and have a minor ailment, you can now go directly to a pharmacy to get treatment free of charge.

There is no need to collect a voucher from the practice but you must present proof of your exemption to the pharmacy. You must register directly with your preferred pharmacy. You may access the scheme up to 3 times, every 6 months.

For more information ask at reception or visit your pharmacist.
