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. Enforcement action has been taken against this pharmacy, which remains in force at the time of this inspection, and there are restrictions on the provision of some services. The enforcement action taken allows the pharmacy to continue providing other services, which are not affected by the restrictions imposed. This was a full reinspection following an inspection in January 2026 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 2.2, 4.3 and 5.1. The pharmacy had implemented a process to ensure all team members, including locum pharmacists, are aware of the current conditions imposed on the pharmacy. All members of the team are now qualified for the role they undertake or are on an appropriate course. They are also aware of the need to refuse patient returned high-risk medicines. The pharmacy has ensured it has the appropriate equipment to provide the services it delivers.
