Accessing the service may mean that can help children feel better and back to school as quickly as possible, as well as supporting parents/carers to also get better if they are unwell with one of the conditions covered under the service. There is no need to make an appointment; parents or carers can pop into their local Boots pharmacy with their child and ask for help under the service. Support for the following conditions can be accessed under the service, free of charge (unless NHS prescription charges apply): | **Common condition** | | **Patient eligibility** | | |---|---|---|---| | Earache | | 1 to 17 years | | | Impetigo | | 1 year and over | | | Infected insect bites and stings | | 1 year and over | | | Sore throats | | 5 years and over | | | Sinusitis | | 12 years and over | | | Uncomplicated urinary tract | | Women 16 to 64 years | | | Shingles | | 18 years and over | | Yours sincerely ![](https://st-aidan-s-primary-school.schudio.com/images/images/Kelly_Harrison_signature.png) \*NHS Pharmacy First Service: In pharmacies in England only.
