How to use this toolkit
This toolkit is designed to support community pharmacists and their teams to deliver the NHS Pharmacy First service in England (and similar schemes in the UK) for acute sinusitis in patients 12 years and over. It covers:
- Clinical assessment and decision-making
- Management of the condition
- Communicating with patients regarding treatment decisions.
Drawing on the NICE Sinusitis (acute) antimicrobial prescribing guideline [NG79], this toolkit will support your decision-making regarding the provision of self-care advice and OTC medicines, and help identify the small number of occasions where antibiotics might be needed.
