Fast relief, done properly

Middle-ear infections (acute otitis media) are one of the seven conditions pharmacists can now assess and treat under NHS Pharmacy First — no GP appointment needed for children and teenagers aged 1 to 17.

Adults with earache, outer-ear infections or wax-related blockages can be seen privately — and if wax is the culprit, our pharmacist can advise on the best way to clear it safely.
