All NHS pharmacy services including Pharmacy First consultations, medicine reviews, and vaccination appointments take place in the private room.

Pharmacy First is an NHS service that allows pharmacists at Well to assess and treat seven common conditions without a GP appointment: sinusitis, sore throat, earache, infected insect bites, impetigo, shingles, and uncomplicated UTIs in women. The pharmacist can supply NHS medicines for these conditions free of charge if you are exempt from prescription charges. This saves you waiting for a GP appointment.
