How Pharmacy First Scotland works at Crighton
Just pop in and ask to speak to a pharmacist. You do not need an appointment, and the service is free for people registered with a GP practice in Scotland. First, our pharmacist asks about your symptoms in our private consultation room. Then they give advice, offer treatment where suitable, or refer you to your GP if you need further care.
You can read more on the Scottish Government Pharmacy First page. For everything else we offer, see our full list of pharmacy services.
