Boots

Community pharmacy
St Edmunds Centre, Tamarisk Way, Greenstead, Colchester, CO4 3GW 01206 860837 boots.com/
A community pharmacy on Northern Gateway in Colchester, CO4 3GW, this Boots branch is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1084730 and passed its most recent GPhC inspection. Boots is one of the UK's biggest pharmacy chains, and this Colchester branch handles NHS and private prescriptions, stocks a wide range of over-the-counter medicines and provides general health guidance. That said, what each branch offers can differ, so it is always sensible to check with the store directly before making a trip. Contact details and opening times are listed further down this page. It is worth knowing that since 2018 prescribing medical cannabis has been legal in the UK for certain conditions, though this happens through specialist clinics rather than standard pharmacies on the high street.
