## What is Rowlands Rochdale?

Rowlands Rochdale is a community (walk-in) pharmacy at Milnrow & Newhey Medical Centre, Newhey Road, Rochdale OL16 4JF. Phone on file: 01706 650309 (source: NHS Business Services Authority open data). NHS ODS code FFC79. This Pick My Pharmacy profile is an independent GPhC-backed listing, not the pharmacy's own site, and not a place to buy medicines.

Rowlands Pharmacy is a GPhC-registered community pharmacy in Rochdale (premises registration number 9012648), owned by L Rowland & Co (retail) Ltd. Details are taken from the General Pharmaceutical Council public premises register (snapshot 2026-06-30).

Rowlands Rochdale is the walk-in pharmacy at Milnrow & Newhey Medical Centre, Newhey Road, Rochdale OL16 4JF. On our snapshot it has been on the GPhC premises register since February 2025. 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, covid vaccinations, blood pressure checks, and more on the list below. Use this page to check registration and compare nearby GPhC-listed pharmacies; use the pharmacy itself for stock, hours, and clinical advice.
