Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy in the town centre of Poulton-le-Fylde, near Blackpool. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, private prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medicines. It also provides a range of services including seasonal flu vaccinations. The pharmacy supplies some people with medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to help them take their medicines at the right time.This was a reinspection following an inspection in February 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.6 and 1.7. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. The pharmacy had taken steps to ensure the required records were kept. The pharmacy had also improved on how it protects people's information. Members of the team had obtained NHS smartcards, so they are no longer shared. And processes are being followed to protect passwords appropriately.
