Community pharmacy
Tesco Instore Pharmacy is a community pharmacy based in Dorchester, DT1 2RY. It is registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council under number 1094461 and passed its most recent GPhC inspection. The registered owner is Tesco Stores Ltd. Sitting inside a Tesco superstore, this pharmacy gives shoppers the convenience of picking up prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines alongside their regular shopping. Community pharmacies of this type also tend to provide general health advice, though the range of services can vary, so it is worth confirming what is available by contacting the pharmacy directly. Opening hours and contact details appear 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 specialist clinics, not through community pharmacies.
