Sore Throat Check & Treat — Pharmacy First at Knights Pharmacy

A sore throat shouldn't mean a wait for a GP.

Through NHS Pharmacy First, our pharmacists can assess your throat using a validated clinical tool and supply antibiotics where appropriate — free, without a GP appointment.

Symptoms to look out for:

Pain when swallowing
Swollen, tender glands in the neck
Hoarse voice, fever or chills

How we treat it

We assess your sore throat and advise on pain relief, hydration and throat lozenges. Where antibiotics are clinically appropriate, we supply them on the spot.

When to seek urgent help: Call 999 if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, a stiff neck alongside fever, or a rapidly spreading rash.

Walk in to any Knights Pharmacy — no appointment needed. Free on the NHS.
