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. This was a re-inspection of the pharmacy following an inspection in August 2025 where the pharmacy was found to be not meeting Standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 2.2, 3.1 and 4.2. Conditions were imposed on the pharmacy on 15 September 2025. During the re-inspection, the pharmacy was found to be not meeting Standards 2.2 and 4.2. The pharmacy had not enrolled some team members on an accredited course for their role. And evidence was found that the pharmacy had breached its Conditions.

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.
