Frequently asked questions
What is Pharmacy First sore throat treatment?
Under Pharmacy First, our pharmacists can assess and treat acute sore throats. Using a clinical scoring system, the pharmacist determines whether antibiotics are appropriate and can supply them directly without the need for a GP appointment.
Do I need to pay for this service?
No, this is a free NHS service. There is no charge for the consultation or for any medicine supplied by the pharmacist.
How does the pharmacist decide if I need antibiotics?
The pharmacist uses a validated clinical scoring system (FeverPAIN or Centor criteria) to assess your symptoms. This helps determine whether your sore throat is likely bacterial and whether antibiotics would be beneficial.
Can children use this service?
Yes, this service is available for patients aged 5 and over. For children under 5 with a sore throat, please contact your GP or NHS 111.
Do I need an appointment?
You don’t have to book — you can come in when we’re open. If you’d rather have a set time, call us on 0121 328 7123.
