Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy on a parade of shops in Middlesbrough. Its main activity is dispensing NHS prescriptions, some of which it delivers to people's homes. It also sells medicines over the counter and offers the NHS Pharmacy First service, Hypertension case-finding service and Contraception service. It provides seasonal flu vaccinations and supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people who need this support to help them take their medicines at the right time.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in August 2025, where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. The pharmacy has taken steps to ensure team members are working to the most recent version of its standard operating procedures, and in doing so team members are now following processes to ensure medicines that are supplied to people are fit for purpose.
