Expansion of Pharmacy First scheme to allow pharmacists to prescribe additional medications

From this autumn, pharmacies in England will be authorised to prescribe a wider range of medications under the Pharmacy First scheme, an initiative launched in 2024 to improve access to care and reduce pressure on GP surgeries and hospitals. Currently, pharmacists can prescribe for conditions including sore throat, earache, sinusitis, shingles, impetigo, infected bites, and urinary tract infections. The government plans to add five more common ailments, though the specific conditions have not yet been disclosed. The scheme will benefit from thousands of newly qualified pharmacists with prescribing qualifications, trained to broaden the scope of Pharmacy First. Over 3.3 million consultations were recorded under the scheme between March 2025 and February 2026, demonstrating significant patient uptake. Health Minister Stephen Kinnock emphasised that the initiative uses pharmacists' skills to provide care closer to patients’ homes, reduce red tape, and relieve GPs. However, representatives of the National Pharmacy Association and the Independent Pharmacies Association have raised concerns that the expansion does not sufficiently address rising costs, including business rates, employer costs, and medicine prices, and may leave many pharmacies financially stretched. Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales have similar schemes, which served as models for the English programme. While the expansion is seen as a positive step, funding shortfalls remain a key challenge for the sustainability and full potential of the scheme.
