Bensham Pharmacy

Community pharmacy
Serving the Bensham area of Gateshead, NE8 1SQ, Bensham Pharmacy is a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1037453. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection and is operated by Hamise Ltd. Community pharmacies of this kind typically handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock over-the-counter medicines and offer health advice, though the full range of services differs from one pharmacy to another. It is worth contacting the pharmacy directly to confirm what is available before you visit. Opening hours and contact details are shown further down this page. On a separate note, since 2018 it has been lawful for specialist clinicians in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through specialist clinics, not through community pharmacies.
