Serving the Accrington community from BB5 3DD, Eccles Chemist is a GPhC-registered community pharmacy with a straightforward job to do: helping local people look after their health. It holds General Pharmaceutical Council registration number 1092671 and passed its most recent GPhC inspection, which is reassuring to know. Community pharmacies generally handle NHS and private prescriptions, sell over-the-counter medicines and can offer everyday health guidance. That said, what any individual pharmacy provides can vary, so a quick call ahead is always a good idea before making a trip. Opening hours and contact details are listed further down this page. It is also worth knowing that, since 2018, medical cannabis has been legal to prescribe in the UK for certain conditions. This happens through specialist clinics rather than community pharmacies.
