Who Can Use the Service
This service is suitable for adults wanting to check their cholesterol levels and assess heart health risk. It is ideal for those with risk factors like obesity, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease. A healthcare professional will review medical history before testing.

Why People Choose This Service From a Pharmacy
Pharmacies offer convenient and quick access to testing without long waiting times. Patients value privacy, easy appointments, and professional support. It provides an efficient way to monitor and manage heart 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.
