Higginbottom Pharmacy
Community pharmacy
Higginbottom Pharmacy is a community pharmacy based in Ferryhill, County Durham, DL17 8LA. It is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1029456. No GPhC inspection result is currently published for this pharmacy. Community pharmacies of this kind typically handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock over-the-counter medicines and provide general health guidance to local patients. What is available at any given pharmacy can differ, so it is sensible to contact Higginbottom Pharmacy directly to confirm services and opening hours before visiting. Contact details and hours appear further down this page. On a separate note, it is worth being aware that medical cannabis has been legal to prescribe in the UK since 2018, for patients with certain conditions. This is done through specialist clinics, not through community pharmacies.
