How do I make Ways Pharmacy my nominated pharmacy?
Three ways: ask us in store or on the phone, set it yourself in the NHS App under prescriptions, or ask your GP surgery to nominate Ways Pharmacy, 24 Chilwell Road, Beeston. You can change it again at any time.
What is Pharmacy First and does it cost anything?
Pharmacy First lets a pharmacist assess and, where clinically appropriate, treat seven common conditions without a GP appointment: sore throat, earache, sinusitis, infected insect bites, impetigo, shingles and uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women aged 16 to 64. The consultation is free on the NHS; normal NHS prescription charges apply to any medicine supplied unless you are exempt.
Can I get a free blood pressure check?
Yes, if you are 40 or over and do not already have a diagnosis of high blood pressure. It takes a few minutes, it is free, and if the reading needs confirming we can fit a 24-hour monitor or refer you to your GP.

Same company, different roles. Beeston is our NHS pharmacy. Our Holborn branch in central London is a private pharmacy — it offers travel vaccinations, blood tests and private consultations, and it does not dispense NHS prescriptions.
