Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy on a parade of shops on Sidcup high street. It provides NHS services such as the New Medicine Service, the Pharmacy First service and the Hypertension Case Finding service. And it provides NHS flu and COVID vaccinations using patient group directions. It supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to a large number of people who need this support. And it delivers medicines to some people’s homes. It also provides supervised administration of certain medicines. 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 restriction imposed. This was an intelligence-led inspection of the pharmacy following information received by the GPhC. Not all the Standards were inspected on this occasion. The pharmacy was last inspected in March 2026 where the pharmacy was found to not be meeting Standards 2.2 and 4.2. An Improvement Notice was issued on 23 March 2026, and it was subsequently deemed to have been met.
