It’s national #askyourpharmacist week! So help us raise awareness of the expertise and services offered by community pharmacists throughout Frimley Health and Care. Did you know pharmacists train for five years before qualifying? During this time they gain deep knowledge of the human body, medicines, and how to diagnose and treat common illnesses. Even after qualifying, pharmacists undergo continuous professional development to stay updated on the latest medical advances. As experts in medicines and managing minor illnesses, pharmacists have been backed by Government and the NHS to provide the NHS ‘Pharmacy First’ service. We are proud that 98% of pharmacies across our area have signed up to offer the Pharmacy First service so that they can provide advice, guidance and offer medicines, if required, to treat the following seven common conditions: * Shingles - 18 years and over * Sore throat - 5 years and over * Infected insect bites - 1 year and over * Earaches in children 1 to 17 years * Sinusitis - 12 years and over * Impetigo - 1 year and over * Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) in women 16 to 64 years This is alongside other services such as the Hypertension Case finding service, new medicines service and contraception service. Help us encourage people in your networks to Ask their pharmacist first this winter. #AskYourPharmacist2024
