Improvement action plan
Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is situated in Anfield, Liverpool. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, private prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medicines. It also provides a range of services including the NHS Pharmacy First service, and supplies medicines to people who use drugs. 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 full reinspection following an inspection in June 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.6, 2.2, 2.5, 4.2, and 4.3. The pharmacy had implemented a whistleblowing policy, and members of the team understood how to raise concerns. But some team members undertake additional responsibilities which they have not completed the necessary training for and so Standard 2.2 remains as not met.
Conditions had been imposed on 2 July 2025 and 21 July 2025 to manage the risks to the public associated with these standards and remained in effect at the time of inspection.

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.
