Boots
Community pharmacy
Sitting in the heart of Whitehaven, CA28 7JN, Boots is a community pharmacy that many local residents will know well. The branch is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1030242. As part of one of the UK's most recognised pharmacy groups, this Whitehaven store handles prescriptions, stocks a wide range of over-the-counter products and provides general health guidance to the people it serves. The range of services can differ from one Boots branch to another, so it is sensible to contact the store directly or check ahead before visiting. Opening hours and contact details are shown further down this page. On the subject of treatments for long-term conditions, it is useful to know that since 2018 medical cannabis has been legal to prescribe in the UK for certain conditions. It is available through specialist clinics, not ordinary community pharmacies.
