About Chemist Near Me

Who We Are

We are not a pharmacy and we do not sell medicines, provide medical advice, or have any affiliation with pharmacy chains or NHS organisations. We are simply a directory service that helps people find local pharmacies when they need them.

How We Keep Listings Current

Pharmacy details compiled from official NHS and regulator listings. Last refreshed: September 2026.

We periodically import the latest data from the official pharmaceutical lists maintained by NHS organisations in each nation. Every pharmacy in the UK that dispenses NHS prescriptions must be registered on these official lists, so they are the most authoritative source available.

Each pharmacy listing shows when its details were last updated. Opening hours and contact details can change between imports, especially around bank holidays or due to staff shortages, so please call ahead if you need a pharmacy urgently or outside normal hours.

We welcome corrections from pharmacy owners and the public. If you spot an error, you can report it via our contact form and we will review it. Full details about our data sources and methodology are available on our data sources page.

Our listings cover 11,000+ pharmacies across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Basic listings (name, address, phone, hours) are free and come from the official data. Some pharmacies pay for featured placement, which gives them priority positioning in search results and city listings — featured listings are clearly labelled.

Data Sources

Pharmacy names, addresses, phone numbers and (where published) opening hours come from the official pharmaceutical lists for each nation, refreshed each quarter:

For Pharmacy Owners

If you own or manage a pharmacy, you can claim your listing to keep your opening hours, contact details, and services accurate. Keeping your information up to date helps patients in your area find you when they need you — especially for urgent and out-of-hours searches.

We also offer featured placement options for pharmacies that want greater visibility in local search results. Featured listings appear prominently in city and postcode searches, helping you reach more patients in your area.
