At Park View Pharmacy, our NHS‑funded Pharmacy First service offers same‑day assessment and treatment for uncomplicated sore throat — no GP referral required. If you’re experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing or swollen glands, our expert pharmacists can provide clinical advice, over‑the‑counter relief and, if clinically appropriate, prescribe antibiotics on the spot.
What Is the NHS Pharmacy First Sore Throat Service?
Pharmacy First is an NHS initiative enabling pharmacists to assess and treat common conditions without a GP appointment. For sore throat, this includes:
✔ Clinical assessment of your symptoms
✔ Advice on self‑care and over‑the‑counter remedies
✔ Prescription of antibiotics if you meet NHS criteria
✔ Referral to your GP or urgent care for red‑flag symptoms
For full NHS eligibility criteria and official guidance, visit the NHS Pharmacy First service page and the NHS sore throat information page.

You qualify for free NHS Pharmacy First sore throat treatment if you:
• Are aged 18 or over
• Have had symptoms for fewer than 7 days
• Do not have severe underlying health conditions
• Are not pregnant (seek GP care if you are)
If you don’t meet these criteria, ask about our Private Services for throat relief.
Why Treat a Sore Throat Promptly?
Untreated sore throat can lead to:
✔ Increased pain and discomfort
✔ Risk of secondary infection (tonsillitis, abscess)
