Community pharmacy
Tesco Instore Pharmacy is a GPhC-registered community pharmacy located in Leicester, LE5 1BJ. It holds registration number 1092519 with the General Pharmaceutical Council and has passed its most recent GPhC inspection, which is reassuring to know. Sitting inside a Tesco store, it offers the kind of convenience that works well 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 medicines and provide everyday health guidance, though the services available can differ from branch to branch. It is always a good idea to contact the pharmacy directly to confirm what is on offer. Phone numbers and opening hours are listed further down this page. It is worth knowing that since 2018 it has been legal in the UK for specialist doctors to prescribe medical cannabis for certain conditions, though this happens through dedicated specialist clinics rather than community pharmacies.
