Britannia Pharmacy

Community pharmacy
Saxon Centre, 242 Bedford Road, Kempston, Bedford, MK42 8PP 01234 854023 britanniapharmacy.com/
A community pharmacy serving the Bedford area, Britannia Pharmacy is based in MK42 8PP and registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1028791. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection, which is a good sign for anyone choosing where to take their prescriptions. Community pharmacies like this one typically help with dispensing prescriptions, provide over-the-counter medicines and offer straightforward health advice, though the precise range of services can differ, so it is worth getting in touch before you visit. Contact details and opening hours for Britannia Pharmacy appear further down this page. It is also useful to know that since 2018 it has been lawful for doctors in the UK to prescribe medical cannabis for certain conditions, though this happens through specialist clinics and not through high street pharmacies.
