Pharmacy First consultations

Under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme, you can speak directly to a pharmacist about a range of common conditions without needing to see a doctor. From sore throats and urinary tract infections to shingles and minor skin problems, the Beacon Pharmacy team can offer advice, recommend treatment and, when suitable, supply medication there and then. It’s fast, reassuring, and ideal for busy people who need help quickly.

Ear wax removal (microsuction)

For anyone struggling with blocked or uncomfortable ears, Beacon Pharmacy provides ear wax removal using microsuction.
