Bell Chemist is on the GPhC register (premises no. 1032213), recorded 7 NHS services in June 2026 (including Pharmacy First and NHS flu jabs), has its opening hours on file and has no published patient reviews yet.

Bell Chemist, Hitchin is not a clinic, not a substitute for the live GPhC register, and not medical advice. This page is not Bell Chemist, Hitchin's official website, and we do not have one on file. Pick My Pharmacy does not sell or supply medicines. For emergencies use NHS 111 or 999.
