HealthPoint Pharmacy Welcomes New Prescribing Powers for Pharmacists


At HealthPoint Pharmacy, we're thrilled about the recent announcement that will allow pharmacists to prescribe medications for a range of common conditions. This new scheme, set to be implemented early next year, is a significant step in improving access to healthcare for our patients.


We fully support this initiative, as it will help reduce the strain on GPs and provide quicker, more convenient care for those in need. We're eager to implement these changes and offer even more comprehensive services to our community.


Under the new scheme, pharmacists will be able to prescribe treatments for the following conditions:


- Allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the inside of the nose)

- Cold sores

- Conjunctivitis

- Impetigo (a contagious skin condition)

- Oral thrush

- Shingles

- Uncomplicated urinary tract infections

- Vulvovaginal thrush (a genital fungal infection)


As we learn more about the specifics of this new service, we'll keep our patients updated. At HealthPoint Pharmacy, our priority is to make healthcare as accessible and straightforward as possible. If you have any questions or need assistance, please visit us at any of our locations. We're here to support your health and well-being.
