At Park View Pharmacy, our NHS‑funded Pharmacy First service offers same‑day assessment and treatment for uncomplicated impetigo — no GP referral required. If you’re noticing red, crusty sores around the mouth or nose, our expert pharmacists can assess your skin, provide self‑care advice and, if clinically appropriate, prescribe antibiotics straight away.
What Is the NHS Pharmacy First Impetigo Service?
Pharmacy First is an NHS initiative enabling pharmacists to diagnose and treat common infections without needing a GP appointment. For impetigo, this includes:
✔ Clinical examination of affected areas
✔ Advice on hygiene, wound care and over‑the‑counter antiseptics
✔ Prescription of topical or oral antibiotics if you meet NHS criteria
✔ Referral to your GP or urgent care for severe or spreading infection
For full NHS eligibility criteria and official guidance, visit the NHS Pharmacy First service page and the NHS impetigo information page.
Who Can Use the Pharmacy First Impetigo Service?
You qualify for free NHS Pharmacy First impetigo treatment if you:
• Are aged 18 or over
• Have crusted sores lasting fewer than 10 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 skin infections.
Why Treat Impetigo Promptly?
Untreated impetigo can lead to:
✔ Increased spread to other body areas or people
✔ Secondary infections (cellulitis)
✔ Longer healing times and scarring
✔ Potential complications
Early treatment clears infection quickly and reduces complications.
