- Does Oxford have a 24-hour pharmacy?
- No. The nearest 24-hour pharmacy is more than 50 miles from Oxford; we recommend NHS 111 for urgent medication outside Oxford's normal pharmacy hours.
- Are there really any 24-hour pharmacies in the UK?
- Yes, but very few. They are concentrated in central London (for example the Zafash 24-hour pharmacy in Earl’s Court). Outside London, most cities fall back on NHS 111 and out-of-hours rota cover after 22:00.
- 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.
