It is ideal for those wanting to assess levels of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and electrolytes. A healthcare professional will review symptoms and history before testing.

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