NHS Pharmacy First in South Manchester

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

For people across south Manchester, our late opening makes us a practical alternative to waiting days for a GP or sitting in A&E with a minor illness. You are assessed privately and, where it is clinically right, treated on the spot under the NHS service.

South Manchester is served by dozens of GP practices, but appointment pressure means many everyday illnesses are better dealt with at a pharmacy. NHS Pharmacy First lets our pharmacist assess and treat seven common conditions without a GP referral.

Timperley Late Night Pharmacy is commissioned by the NHS to provide Pharmacy First, and our position on the Altrincham Metrolink line with late opening makes us easy to reach for patients right across south Manchester.
