Why People Choose This Service From a Pharmacy
Pharmacies offer quick and convenient access to testing without long waiting times. Patients value privacy, easy booking, and professional support. It provides an efficient and accessible way to monitor kidney health.
The Pharmacy First service builds on the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service which has run since October 2019. The consultation service enables patients to be referred into community pharmacy for a minor illness or an urgent repeat medicine supply.
