NHS Pharmacy First in Sandbach

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

Sandbach residents come to us to be seen quickly for minor illnesses instead of waiting for a routine GP slot. Our pharmacist assesses you privately and can supply NHS treatment the same day where it is appropriate.
