Inspection outcome: Standards met
Last inspection: 29/08/2023
Pharmacy context
This is an online pharmacy which people access using the website http://ayp.healthcare. It is situated within a warehouse near to Preston City Centre. The pharmacy had been registered so that it could sell pharmacy only (P) medicines to people. But, enforcement action has been taken against this pharmacy, and conditions in place at the time of this inspection restrict the services it can provide. As a consequence, there were currently no registerable activities taking place. However, the pharmacy was continuing to sell General Sales List (GSL) medicines and other healthcare sundries via its website.
