Are there really any 24-hour pharmacies in the UK?

Isn’t a 100-hour pharmacy the same as 24/7?
No. 100-hour pharmacies are contracted to open about 100 hours a week, typically 07:00–23:00 most days, which is much longer than the standard 40-hour pharmacy but still well short of 168 hours. Find a Pharmacy never rubber-stamps a 100-hour pharmacy as 24/7.
