Community pharmacy
Houghton le Spring, Tyne and Wear, is home to R. Whitfield Ltd, a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1037491. No GPhC inspection result is currently published for this premises.

What is available at any individual pharmacy can vary, so it is sensible to contact the branch directly before visiting. Opening hours and contact details are listed further down this page. Since 2018 it has been lawful for specialist clinicians in the UK to prescribe medical cannabis for certain conditions, though this sits outside the scope of ordinary community pharmacies entirely.
