This Pick My Pharmacy profile is an independent GPhC-backed listing, not the pharmacy's own site, and not a place to buy medicines.

On our snapshot it has been on the GPhC premises register since February 1996. 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. Use this page to check registration and compare nearby GPhC-listed pharmacies; use the pharmacy itself for stock, hours, and clinical advice. ## Who should use a different pharmacy?
