When it comes to looking after our health, sometimes a little bit of extra support and advice is needed.

With more than 360 in-store pharmacies across the UK serving more than half a million customers each week, Tesco is here to help. They make it easy for you to grab your prescriptions, access their extensive healthcare services, or talk to their expert pharmacists during your weekly shop.

Pharmacists can also save your precious time by prescribing treatment for several common conditions, including sore throats, earaches, infected insect bites, sinusitis and UTIs, through the NHS Pharmacy First service, removing the need to make an appointment with your GP.

There’s help for longer-term health issues too.
