## What is Tesco Leicester?

NHS ODS code FLP27. This Pick My Pharmacy profile is an independent GPhC-backed listing, not the pharmacy's own site, and not a place to buy medicines.

Tesco Instore Pharmacy is a GPhC-registered community pharmacy in Leicester (premises registration number 1092519), owned by Tesco Stores Ltd. Details are taken from the General Pharmaceutical Council public premises register (snapshot 2026-06-30). Always verify the current registration on pharmacyregulation.org before relying on this listing.

Tesco Leicester is the walk-in pharmacy at 2 Maidenwell Avenue, Hamilton, Leicester LE5 1BJ. On our snapshot it has been on the GPhC premises register since July 2007. If it still holds an NHS contract, you can usually collect English NHS prescriptions here at the national item charge — the pharmacy cannot set its own NHS price. Pharmacy First is listed: in England that is a free NHS consultation for seven common conditions, if the pharmacist decides you fit the pathway. It is not the same scheme in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Services recorded here: nhs prescriptions, pharmacy first, flu jabs, covid vaccinations, blood pressure checks, and more on the list below. Use this page to check registration and compare nearby GPhC-listed pharmacies; use the pharmacy itself for stock, hours, and clinical advice.
