What is Pharmacy First?

Pharmacy First is an NHS service that lets you get treatment for certain common conditions directly from the pharmacy, without needing to see a GP first. At Hussain Chemists in Coventry, our trained team can assess your symptoms, offer clear advice, and where it's clinically appropriate, provide a prescription there and then, so you can get on with your day sooner.

Conditions we can help with

• Earache in Children — Ear pain in children is usually caused by infection or fluid build-up, and can bring sharp or dull discomfort and occasionally short-term hearing changes. Our pharmacists can assess and advise on the right next step.
• Impetigo — A contagious skin infection common in children, showing up as red sores that can weep and crust over. Catching it early helps stop it spreading to others.
• Infected Insect Bites — When bacteria get into a bite site, it can become red, swollen, and sore. Prompt treatment helps avoid further complications.
• Sinusitis — Inflammation of the sinuses that can cause a blocked nose, facial pain, and pressure, often following a cold or infection. Quick advice can bring welcome relief.
• Sore Throat — A common complaint that causes pain or scratchiness in the throat, often linked to a viral or bacterial infection. We can help you work out the best way to ease it.
• Shingles — A painful, blistering rash caused by the same virus as chickenpox. Early treatment can help manage symptoms.
• UTIs in Women — Urinary tract infections affect the bladder, kidneys, or urethra, and are more common in women. Our team can offer fast advice and treatment where appropriate.

If your symptoms don't match these conditions, or you're not sure, our pharmacy team is always happy to advise on the best place to get help.
