Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is located in a closed unit in a shopping centre. Members of the public do not usually visit the pharmacy in person unless they are attending a private consultation. Instead, the pharmacy delivers medicines to people in the local area. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, and it offers a number of private services including ear wax removal. This was a desktop inspection following an inspection earlier in March 2026 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 1.6. This reinspection focused on the standard which had previously not been met. The pharmacy provided assurance that entries are now being made in the controlled drug (CD) register in a timely manner and CD running balances are checked on a weekly basis. Written instructions are in place to remind locum pharmacists of these requirements.
