Serving the local community in Bolton, BL5 3SX, Rigby and Higginson Pharmacy is a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1033137. It is owned by Sykes Chemists Ltd and passed its most recent GPhC inspection. Community pharmacies like this one are a familiar and trusted part of neighbourhood life, typically handling NHS and private prescriptions, stocking everyday medicines and providing straightforward health advice to those who drop in. That said, what each pharmacy offers can differ, so it is always sensible to ring ahead or check before making a trip. Contact details and opening hours are listed further down this page. For anyone living with a long-term health condition who has not found enough relief from conventional treatments, it may be helpful to know that medical cannabis has been legal to prescribe in the UK since 2018 for certain conditions, through specialist clinics rather than ordinary pharmacies.
