Pharmacy First Service
Pharmacy First gives eligible patients fast access to pharmacist assessment, advice and treatment for selected common conditions.

Fast, Discreet Access to Your Medication
Ashworths Clinic supports private prescription enquiries for patients in Ashford, Lyminge, Folkestone and surrounding areas who need a professional alternative to waiting for a routine GP appointment.
The service is designed around privacy, clear advice and practical access to medication where a valid prescription request is clinically appropriate.
Patients may use the service when they need repeat medication guidance, want a discreet conversation, or need to understand whether a prescription request can be supported safely.
The team confirms requirements before supply, explains pricing or availability clearly and avoids leaving patients uncertain about the next step.
Book online or call the clinic, discuss your request with a clinician or pharmacist, and receive advice tailored to your medication needs and circumstances.
Where supply is appropriate, the clinic explains collection and any follow-up. Where another route is safer, the team will guide you to the right service.
Ashworths supports patients beyond the prescription itself, with follow-up advice and signposting for questions about timing, safety or ongoing care.
Online enquiries are for routine appointments. If symptoms are urgent, use NHS 111 or call 999 for life-threatening symptoms.
Booking is recommended for clinic services so the right team member, room and appointment length can be reserved.
Please bring any relevant medication details, previous letters, vaccination history or information requested in your booking confirmation.
