Serving the BB5 5AD area of Accrington, Accrington Pharmacy is a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1033064. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection. Community pharmacies of this kind generally handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock a range of over-the-counter medicines and can offer straightforward health advice. That said, what any individual pharmacy provides can differ, so a quick call ahead is always a sensible idea before making a trip. Contact details and opening hours for this pharmacy are shown further down this page. It is also worth knowing that, since 2018, specialist doctors in the UK have been able to legally prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through dedicated specialist clinics, not through ordinary community pharmacies.
