Inspection summary findings

Principle 1. Governance

Standards met

The pharmacy identifies and manages most risks effectively. Members of the pharmacy team monitor the safety of their services by recording mistakes and learning from these. They understand how they can protect the welfare of vulnerable people. And, in general, the pharmacy maintains most of its records in accordance with the law. 

Principle 2. Staff

Standards met

The pharmacy has enough staff to manage its workload safely. Pharmacy team members understand their roles and responsibilities. They keep their skills and knowledge up to date by completing regular training.

Principle 3. Premises

Standards met

The pharmacy's premises provide a professional environment to deliver its services.

Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

Standards met

The pharmacy obtains medicines from reputable sources, but it doesn’t always make sure that they are safe to use. It stores some medicines in poorly labelled containers. This makes it harder for the team to check the expiry date, assess the stability or take any necessary action if the medicine is recalled. The pharmacy provides its services safely and effectively. Team members highlight prescriptions that require extra advice and they take extra care with high-risk medicines. This helps ensure that people can take their medicines safely.

Principle 5. Equipment and facilities

Standards met

The pharmacy has the appropriate equipment and facilities to provide its services safely.
