Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy located in a residential area on the outskirts of Walsall town centre. The pharmacy is open extended hours over six days. It dispenses NHS prescriptions, private prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medicines. It also provides a range of services including NHS Pharmacy First and the NHS blood pressure testing service. The pharmacy team dispenses medicines into weekly packs for people to help make sure they take them at the right time, and it provides services to care homes. This was a reinspection following an inspection in December 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.7, 4.2 and 4.3. The pharmacy has failed to make sufficient improvements resulting in repeated failed Standards.

What do the inspection outcomes mean?
After an inspection each pharmacy receives one overall outcome. This will be either Standards met or Standards not all met
| The pharmacy has met all the standards for registered pharmacies | |
| The pharmacy has not met one or more of the standards for registered pharmacies |
What does 'pharmacy has not met all standards' mean?
When a pharmacy has not met all standards, they are required to complete an improvement action plan, which you can find via a link at the top left of this page. We monitor progress to check the improvements are made and inspect again after six months to make sure the pharmacy is maintaining these improvements. A new report will then be published.
