Well Shildon is the walk-in pharmacy at 14 Church Street, Shildon DL4 1DX. On our snapshot it has been on the GPhC premises register since April 2013. 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.
