Ordered my repeat prescription through the app and it was ready the same afternoon. The team always let me know the moment it's done. #SeabrookPharmacy

Overview
Infected insect bites, explained.
Most bites cause mild irritation that settles in days. If a bite becomes infected — hot, increasingly red and swollen, or weeping — our pharmacist can assess it and supply antibiotics if needed. Common signs include redness spreading around the bite, swelling and heat, pus or weeping.

Went in for a blood pressure check. Friendly, quick and the pharmacist explained my readings clearly and what to do next.

Pharmacy First is brilliant. Seen within 10 minutes for a sore throat and walked out with treatment.

Lovely staff who genuinely remember you. The ear wax removal was gentle and so much better than I expected.
