Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is in St Blazey, Cornwall. It sells over-the-counter medicines and dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. The pharmacy team offers advice to people about minor illnesses and long-term conditions. The pharmacy offers a range of services including the NHS New Medicine Service (NMS), the NHS Hypertension Case Finding Service and the Pharmacy First Service. The pharmacy provides services to drug users. And it provides medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to people to help them remember to take them at the right time. The pharmacy offers a delivery service.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in June 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.2 and 1.6. The pharmacy has implemented robust procedures to document and reflect on mistakes made, which has reduced the risk of errors reoccurring. It has also strengthened the record keeping of high-risk medicines and now meets the legal requirements.
