Serving Houghton le Spring, DH4 4DN, G. Whitfield Ltd is a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1037488. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection. As a community pharmacy, it will typically handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock over-the-counter medicines and provide basic health advice, though the range of services on offer can differ, so contacting the pharmacy directly is the sensible first step. Opening hours and contact details are listed further down this page. It is worth knowing that since 2018 it has been lawful for doctors in the UK to prescribe medical cannabis for certain conditions, but this happens through specialist clinics, not through ordinary community pharmacies.
