Pharmacy First

The scheme is available to everyone living or working in the borough of Croydon, including parents and carers.  

If you have a minor aliment it the quickest way to get treatment and advice from a health professional.  If you are suffering from a minor aliment, you may not need to go to your GP for treatment. So, instead of waiting for a GP's appointment, visit your local community Pharmacy first.

No appointment is necessary and the pharmacist will always offer advice and if appropriate they will supply medicine.   The medicine is free for patients who are eligible for free prescription (you will need to show proof of exemption).  Patients who have to pay for prescriptions will pay the current prescription charge.  If the medicine costs less than the prescription charge, then the  patient would be informed of this so they can purchase it instead.
