A community pharmacy serving the Burghfield area, Burghfield Pharmacy is based in Reading, RG7 3YJ. It is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1028994 and came through its most recent GPhC inspection with a pass. The pharmacy is owned and operated by Pillbox Chemists Ltd. Community pharmacies of this type generally handle NHS and private prescriptions, keep a range of over-the-counter medicines on the shelves and offer everyday health guidance. That said, services do vary between pharmacies, so it is sensible to contact them directly before making a trip. Opening hours and contact details are listed further down this page. Something worth knowing if you have a long-term condition that has not responded well to standard treatment: since 2018 it has been lawful for doctors in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions, but this happens through specialist clinics, not community pharmacies.
