Porlock Pharmacy
Community pharmacy
Minehead and the surrounding Somerset villages are well served by Porlock Pharmacy, a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1036332. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection, which gives patients a reliable measure of the standards it meets. Registered owner John Ware Ltd operates this local pharmacy, which plays an important part in day-to-day healthcare for people in the area. Community pharmacies of this kind generally handle prescription dispensing, stock over-the-counter medicines and offer basic health guidance, though the exact range of services varies, so it is always worth getting in touch before your visit. Opening hours and contact details appear further down this page. It is useful to know that since 2018 it has been legal for specialist doctors in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through dedicated clinics, not ordinary pharmacies.
