Community pharmacy
Boots is a community pharmacy serving the centre of Reading, RG1 2AE, registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1028956. As part of one of the UK's most recognised pharmacy chains, this branch is a familiar resource for local residents picking up prescriptions, browsing over-the-counter remedies or seeking straightforward health advice. Being right in the heart of Reading means it is well placed for shoppers and workers passing through the town centre. The range of services can differ between branches, so it is always sensible to confirm what is available here by calling ahead. Contact details and opening hours are shown further down this page. It is also worth knowing that medical cannabis has been legal to prescribe in the UK since 2018 for certain conditions, accessed through specialist clinics rather than community pharmacies.
