St Matthew's Pharmacy — your independent NHS pharmacy in Leicester
Welcome
Your local NHS pharmacy on Malabar Road
St Matthew's Pharmacy is a new independent pharmacy serving the St Matthews community and the wider Leicester area. We're NHS contracted, GPhC registered, and under new ownership — which means fresh energy, shorter queues and a team that has the time to actually talk to you.
From NHS prescriptions and free blood pressure checks through to travel vaccinations and ear wax removal, we handle it in one place. Most of our services are walk-in, and we have a private consultation room for anything you'd rather not discuss at the counter.

About Us
A new independent pharmacy, under new ownership
We took over the pharmacy on Malabar Road with a simple aim: run the kind of local pharmacy the St Matthews community actually deserves. Independent means we answer to our patients rather than to a head office, and we can say yes to things a chain would need three months to approve.
- Registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)
- NHS contracted for dispensing and advanced services
- Private consultation room for confidential conversations
- Multilingual team who know the local community
