Pharmacy First

Pharmacists can give you advice on a range of conditions and suggest medicines that can help. Many pharmacies provide individual consultation rooms giving you a confidential environment to discuss your medication or condition as necessary. Many pharmacies in Essex also open during evenings and on weekends, and no appointment is necessary.

They may also be able to offer treatment and some prescription medicine for some conditions, without you needing to see a GP (this is called Pharmacy First)
