A community pharmacy serving Hitchin, Cross Chemist sits in Hertfordshire at SG5 2NQ and is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1032222. It is owned by Cross Retail Limited and passed its most recent GPhC inspection, which is reassuring if you are looking for a reliable local pharmacy. Community pharmacies like this one generally handle NHS and private prescriptions, provide over-the-counter medicines and offer everyday health advice to patients of all ages. That said, services do differ from one pharmacy to another, so it is always sensible to get in touch or pop in before assuming what is available. Opening hours and contact details are listed further down this page. It is also worth knowing that since 2018 it has been legal for doctors in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions, though this happens through specialist clinics rather than community pharmacies.
