Pharmacy First is growing: 5 prescriber-led conditions

On 10 September 2026 NHS England announced that Pharmacy First will be extended this autumn so that pharmacist independent prescribers can assess and prescribe for 5 more conditions. At Timperley Late Night Pharmacy that prescriber is Muhammad Adnan, whose independent-prescriber annotation is on the GPhC public register.

The detailed NHS eligibility criteria have not yet been published. Until they are, the pages here explain what has been announced and what a consultation will involve. A consultation will not always end in a prescription.
