Pharmacy context

This community pharmacy is located on a busy high street in Upper Edmonton, London. It dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And it sells medicines over the counter. It supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people. It provides a range of NHS services such as Pharmacy First and flu and Covid vaccinations. The pharmacy also provides a private travel vaccination service via patient group directions (PGDs) and it delivers medicines to some people in the local area.

This was a reinspection following an inspection in November 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.6, 2.2, 4.2 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy no longer provides a private prescribing service. It now ensures it stores medicines requiring cold storage at the required temperatures. And it now has in-date, signed patient group directions (PGDs) for its private travel service to ensure people are receiving travel vaccinations appropriately.

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.
