Is Boots Darwen a good choice?
Boots is on the GPhC register (premises no. 1033368), recorded 2 NHS services in June 2026 (including NHS flu jabs and the New Medicine Service), has its opening hours on file and has no published patient reviews yet. This reflects the data on this profile — GPhC registration, register standing and published prices — not a guarantee of service quality.
Boots Darwen is not a clinic, not a substitute for the live GPhC register, and not medical advice. This page is not Boots Darwen's official website; use boots.com for the pharmacy's own booking or shop. Pick My Pharmacy does not sell or supply medicines. For emergencies use NHS 111 or 999.

Source: NHS Business Services Authority open data — NHS activity recorded in June 2026; pharmaceutical list as at 30 June 2026. A service recorded that month is good evidence the pharmacy offers it, but staffing and stock change — phone before you travel. Services are only listed when the NHS data shows them, so a missing service is not proof it is unavailable.
