This page is a quick service finder. Start with the NHS service cards above to choose the closest match, then use the “Learn more” links for full eligibility and next steps. If you are unsure, speak to the team and we will help you choose the quickest appropriate route. ### Do I need an appointment for NHS services, or can I walk in? It depends on the service. Many people can walk in, and booking can help if you want a specific time. If you are unsure, contact the pharmacy and we will guide you to the best next step. ### Is Pharmacy First free? The consultation is NHS-funded. If medicine is supplied, normal NHS prescription rules apply. Some people pay a prescription charge, and others are entitled to free prescriptions. ### What happens if I’m not eligible for Pharmacy First (or it isn’t clinically appropriate)? You can still get pharmacist-led advice and self-care guidance, and where appropriate over-the-counter support. If Pharmacy First is not suitable, we will explain the next step, such as another NHS service, your GP, or NHS 111. ### Can I talk to a pharmacist privately? Yes. Ask the team for a confidential conversation. Where appropriate, we can usually speak in a more private space, including a consultation room. ### How do I access NHS contraception services at Monkspath Pharmacy?
