Ready your range

for Pharmacy First

There is a set pathway that the pharmacy team should follow
to enable treatment, however, not all patients will require
prescription support, and many ailments could be eased through
treatment from OTC medicines through the pharmacy.
As well as the preparations on the clinical side, it’s important to ensure your
range is suitable for the conditions set out in the Pharmacy First criteria.
It is also important that the whole pharmacy team is knowledgeable
about the conditions associated with the Pharmacy First service and are
able to advise patients on the best course of treatment. This can include
discussing the appropriate dosages, potential side effects, and advising
patients on when it may be necessary to seek further medical attention.
By stocking the relevant OTC ranges, pharmacy teams can ensure that
patients have access to suitable remedies for the conditions covered by
the Pharmacy First service. This not only helps alleviate symptoms but
also enables patients to manage their conditions effectively without
the need for a doctor's appointment. It's crucial for pharmacy teams to
regularly review and update their OTC ranges to meet the changing needs
of patients.
