Tesco Instore Pharmacy

Inside the Tesco store in Whitehaven, CA28 7XY, sits a community pharmacy registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1030240. It passed its most recent GPhC inspection. Being part of a supermarket makes it a convenient stop for people picking up prescriptions alongside their weekly shop. Community pharmacies of this type generally handle NHS and private prescriptions, stock a range of over-the-counter products and can offer basic health advice. That said, services do vary between branches, so it is worth checking with this pharmacy directly before assuming what it provides. Opening times and contact details are available further down the page. On a separate note, since 2018 it has been lawful for specialist doctors in the UK to prescribe cannabis-based medicines for certain conditions. This happens through dedicated clinics, not standard pharmacies.
