How to use this toolkit
This toolkit is designed to support pharmacists to deliver the Pharmacy First service in England (and similar schemes) for sore throat. It covers:
- Clinical assessment and decision-making
- Management of the condition
- Communicating with patients regarding treatment decisions.
After reading the toolkit you will be able to conduct a simple examination of the throat; know which conditions and red flags require referral; be confident in using a clinical scoring system to assess the likelihood of bacterial infection; and provide appropriate treatment and advice.
