Pharmacy First is expanding in England.

From this autumn, participating pharmacies will be able to assess and treat five more conditions:

• Migraines
• Acne
• Scabies
• Ear infections in adults
• Rhinitis

This means they will be able to prescribe treatment directly, without people needing to see a GP first.

Pharmacy First has provided 14 million consultations since launching in 2024. The NHS expects the expansion to provide another 2–3 million consultations each year.

Do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea? Let us know in the comments.

After 10+ years, decided it was about time I bought a CD. A good choice I reckon! @LoneLadyHQ @WarpRecords #formerthings

@morphine_band Saw the Buena video on MTV's 120 Minutes, 2 string bass line grabbed me and bought the album in Aberdeen a couple of days later. Still a big fan all these years later!

@stereogum A drummer and a parody of a drummer, how apt.

@Smyth_Chris I feel such a twat. All my life I've misunderstood "maintain the status quo" and it took Keir to realise it's actually "making hard choices".

@ewendj Deary me. My oven was way more considerate and did it 3 weeks before. Washing machine didn't care though and packed in yesterday.

In no particular order. Too many great albums to choose from! #pitchfork #90salbums

@Gordaidh @DunelmUK @DunelmCareers Don't even need to explain yourself where I work (quite rightly!)

@marrtoffee That's not fair, our PM accepts regular free holidays from just about anyone if the villa's big enough.

@YvetteCooperMP Same old same old, they'll never change. Ideology always trumps compassion, no matter how desperate the situation is.

@Peston @BorisJohnson He doesn't give two hoots how daft he looks - he's betting no one will be able to disprove ridiculous notion that he thought it was a work event, so gets off scot-free again while everyone on the invite email takes the hit for him.

@Samfr Scottish independence. Tories. Brexit. Nuff said.
