Enter your postcode or allow location access at the top of this page. Find a Pharmacy will show every pharmacy within five miles of you in Newcastle upon Tyne, sorted by distance, with a live open-or-closed badge on each one. Tap a result to call, get directions, or see today’s opening hours.
- What if no pharmacy is open when I need medication?
If every nearby pharmacy is shut, Find a Pharmacy shows the address and phone number of the nearest pharmacy that will open next, along with an NHS 111 quick-dial for urgent medication advice. Call NHS 111 free, any time of day, for prescription emergencies; they can arrange an emergency supply from an on-call pharmacy anywhere in the UK.
- Does Newcastle upon Tyne have a 24-hour pharmacy?
That depends on the live NHS opening-hours data for each Newcastle upon Tyne pharmacy, and very few UK cities have a true round-the-clock chemist. See our 24-hour pharmacies in Newcastle upon Tyne page for the honest answer; it tells you straight whether a 24-hour pharmacy exists, or lists the latest-closing alternatives and the nearest out-of-hours service if it doesn’t.
- How accurate are the opening hours?
Find a Pharmacy uses the NHSBSA Consolidated Pharmaceutical List for the pharmacy directory and pulls live opening hours from each pharmacy’s NHS.uk profile, updated weekly. Bank holiday rota data, where published by your local NHS region, overrides the standard NHS hours so you never get sent to a shut shop on Christmas Day or Easter Monday. If you spot an error, please let us know.
- Is Find a Pharmacy free?
Yes. Find a Pharmacy is free for everyone, forever. No sign-up, no tracking for ad-targeting, no install gate. We use privacy-friendly analytics (Plausible) to count anonymous visits. The data we rely on is published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
