NHS Pharmacy First in Alsager

Crewe Pharmacy is commissioned by the NHS to provide Pharmacy First, so patients in Alsager can be assessed and, where clinically appropriate, treated for seven common conditions without a GP appointment — and without paying for the consultation.

For Alsager residents facing a wait for a GP, we are a quick route to being seen for everyday illnesses. A pharmacist assesses you privately and can supply NHS treatment where the clinical pathway allows.

Alsager is a busy town on the eastern edge of Cheshire, close to the Staffordshire border and the M6. Demand on local GP practices is high, so NHS Pharmacy First offers Alsager residents a faster route for the seven conditions it covers.

Crewe Pharmacy is commissioned by the NHS to deliver Pharmacy First, and being a short hop down the motorway makes us a practical option for Alsager families who need to be seen without a long wait.
