Serving the Consett community in County Durham, DH8 5RL, Derwent Valley Pharmacy is a friendly local community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1089469. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection, which is a reassuring sign for anyone relying on it for their everyday healthcare needs. As a community pharmacy, it typically helps with dispensing prescriptions, providing over-the-counter medicines and offering straightforward health advice. That said, the range of services can vary, so it is always a good idea to get in touch or pop in to confirm what is available before you visit. Contact details and opening hours are listed further down this page. It is also worth knowing that since 2018 it has been legal in the UK for specialist clinicians to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through dedicated specialist clinics, not through ordinary community pharmacies.
