Strachans Chemist

Community pharmacy
Strachans Chemist is a GPhC-registered community pharmacy serving the Oldham area, OL3 6AU. It holds registration number 1097586 with the General Pharmaceutical Council. No inspection result is currently published on the GPhC register. As a community pharmacy, Strachans Chemist sits at the heart of local health provision, handling prescriptions and stocking everyday medicines alongside offering general health guidance to the people it serves. Services do vary between pharmacies, so it is always a good idea to get in touch directly before visiting to confirm what is available. Contact details and opening hours for this pharmacy are listed further down this page. It is 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.
