NHS Pharmacy First in Altrincham

Timperley Late Night Pharmacy is commissioned by the NHS to provide Pharmacy First, so patients in Altrincham can be assessed and, where clinically appropriate, treated for seven common conditions without a GP appointment — and without paying for the consultation.

Altrincham patients come to us to skip the GP queue for minor illnesses. As the neighbouring late-night pharmacy we can assess you and, where suitable, treat you on the same visit — useful when the town-centre surgeries are fully booked.

Altrincham is a thriving market town, and its GP practices are often booked days ahead for the everyday illnesses that Pharmacy First is designed for. Rather than wait — or head to A&E for something minor — Altrincham residents can be assessed quickly by our pharmacist.

Timperley Late Night Pharmacy is commissioned by the NHS to provide Pharmacy First, so an Altrincham patient with a sore throat, sinusitis, an infected insect bite or a suspected UTI can be seen, advised and, where appropriate, treated under the NHS at no charge.

The 7 conditions we can treat

• Sinusitis Age 12 and over
• Sore Throat Age 5 and over
• Earache (Acute Otitis Media) Age 1 to 17
• Infected Insect Bites Age 1 and over
• Impetigo Age 1 and over
