NHS Pharmacy First in Nantwich

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

Nantwich patients use us to skip the GP queue for minor illnesses. We sit on Nantwich Road, the direct route between the town and Crewe, so we are an easy call-in when the local surgeries are booked up.

Nantwich is a historic Cheshire market town, and its GP practices are often booked days ahead for the everyday illnesses Pharmacy First is designed for. Rather than wait, Nantwich residents can be assessed quickly by our pharmacist on Nantwich Road.
