Why choose us
A Leicester pharmacy built around clinical care
Since opening on Melton Road we have grown from dispensing prescriptions into a full travel clinic and private vaccination service, while keeping the pace of an independent shop where you can still talk to a pharmacist without an appointment.
Pharmacist led clinics
Travel health, vaccinations and private consultations delivered in our own consultation room, not squeezed into a queue at the counter.
Appointments that fit your week
Weekday and Saturday slots, with most patients seen within a few days of getting in touch.
Certificates and records
Written records every time, plus international certification where your destination requires it.
Independent and local
One pharmacy, one team, on Melton Road. The same faces look after you and your family each visit.
