On our snapshot it has been on the GPhC premises register since June 1949. If it still holds an NHS contract, you can usually collect English NHS prescriptions here at the national item charge — the pharmacy cannot set its own NHS price. Pharmacy First is listed: in England that is a free NHS consultation for seven common conditions, if the pharmacist decides you fit the pathway. It is not the same scheme in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Services recorded here: nhs prescriptions, pharmacy first, flu jabs, blood pressure checks, contraception service, and more on the list below.
