Pharmacies in Manchester

Manchester is well served by community pharmacies — major chains and independents across the city, Salford and Trafford — plus late-opening pharmacies useful when GP surgeries are closed. Online pharmacies also deliver across the area. Pharmacists are GPhC-registered healthcare professionals who can do much more than dispense prescriptions.

What your Manchester pharmacy can help with

Pharmacists can advise on minor illnesses and medicines, and under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme can assess and supply treatment for some common conditions without a GP appointment. Many Manchester pharmacies also offer flu and travel vaccinations, blood pressure checks and emergency contraception.

Finding an open pharmacy

Some Manchester pharmacies open late or at weekends. NHS 111 can direct you to an open pharmacy in an urgent situation. The listings below cover pharmacies across the Manchester area. This is information only, not medical advice; ask your pharmacist about your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

HealthWise lists 32 pharmacy clinics in Manchester, in postcode areas including M1, M15, M6.
Yes. 32 listed clinics offer NHS care, 32 of them alongside private treatment. Check each clinic's listing for how to access its NHS services.
Pharmacists can advise on many minor illnesses and medicines. Under the NHS Pharmacy First scheme in England, they can also assess and supply treatment for some common conditions — such as certain infections — without you needing to see a GP first.
In England a fixed charge applies per prescription item unless you are exempt (for example children, people over 60, or those on qualifying benefits or with certain conditions). Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A prepayment certificate can save money if you need several items.
Registered online pharmacies are regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), the same body that regulates high-street pharmacies. Look for the GPhC registration and a registered pharmacy logo before ordering medicines online.
