An independent Leicester pharmacy doing things differently.
Family-run since 2010. Pharmacist-led private clinics that pick up where the NHS stops — same-day access, plain-English advice, every appointment with a real clinician.
Serving Leicester since 2010Built around what patients actually need.
Clarendon Pharmacy opened on Welford Road in 2010 as a traditional community pharmacy. From day one, the approach was simple: take time with people. Know the regulars by name. Explain things properly.
As NHS waiting lists grew and access to GP appointments tightened, more patients started asking us to do more. Travel vaccinations before a holiday. A blood test without a six-week wait. A weight-loss consultation that didn't feel rushed. We built private clinical services around the same approach — same-day access, pharmacist-led, plain-English advice.
Today we run nine private clinical services from the same shopfront. Still independent. Still family-owned. Still on Welford Road. Walk-ins welcome.
The person behind every prescription.
Six things we don't compromise on.
Everything below is editable — but every visitor we've ever surveyed has named at least three of them as the reason they came back.
Same-day access
If you can come in today, we can usually see you today. No GP referral, no four-week waitlist.
Pharmacist-led, every time
Every clinical appointment is with a qualified pharmacist or prescriber — not a counter assistant.
Plain-English advice
We explain results, options and trade-offs in the language you'd use with a friend, not a textbook.
NHS-aligned standards
We follow NICE, MHRA and GPhC guidance — the same standards your NHS GP works to.
Family-owned, locally rooted
Independent since 2010. Same shopfront, same team, same number. Not part of a national chain.
Continuity of care
See the same clinician on each visit. We build a record of your health, not just a transaction.
Local, busy, and built to last.
Pop in. Have a chat. Nothing booked, no pressure.
