NHS Pharmacy First Service

Did you know that the NHS Pharmacy First Service enables children and adults to get convenient access to healthcare advice and treatment where appropriate, for seven common conditions without the potential delay of having to wait for a GP appointment? Accessing the service may mean that can help children feel better and back to school as quickly as possible, as well as supporting parents/carers to also get better if they are unwell with one of the conditions covered under the service.

There is no need to make an appointment; parents or carers can pop into their local Boots pharmacy with their child and ask for help under the service.

Support for the following conditions can be accessed under the service, free of charge (unless NHS prescription charges apply):

Common Condition	Patient Eligibility
Earache	1 to 17 years
Impetigo	1 year and over
Infected insect bites and stings	1 year and over
Sore throats	5 years and over
Sinusitis	12 years and over
Uncomplicated urinary tract	Women 16 to 64 years
Shingles	18 years and over

Head lice - 'Once a Week, Take a Peek' campaign

As a school we’re supporting the Once a Week, Take a Peek campaign aimed at helping parents spot, treat, and prevent the spread of head lice. Head lice are a normal part of childhood and by checking for them regularly and using an appropriate treatment, they can be dealt with quickly and easily. The guidance has been produced by Hedrin in association with the Medical Entomology Centre, a world-leading authority on head lice.

Download the step-by-step guide 'Head lice Parent's Leaflet' that tells you everything you need to know about checking for and treating head lice. Alternatively, visit the link below to find out more on the Once a Week Take a Peek campaign.
