NHS Pharmacy First in Crewe

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

As a Crewe pharmacy on busy Nantwich Road, we are an easy first stop for CW1 and CW2 residents who need to be seen quickly for everyday illnesses rather than waiting days for a GP appointment.

Crewe is a busy railway town where families, shift workers and commuters all need fast access to everyday healthcare. NHS Pharmacy First lets our pharmacist handle seven of the most common reasons people used to book a GP — from a child’s earache to a woman’s urinary tract infection — usually the same day.

Because Crewe Pharmacy is an NHS-commissioned Pharmacy First provider, you are seen by a GPhC-registered pharmacist who follows the national NHS clinical pathways, supplies NHS treatment where it is right for you, and refers you on to Leighton Hospital or your GP if you need further care.

The 7 conditions we can treat
