Improvement action plan
Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is located in a parade of shops. It dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And it sells medicines over the counter. The pharmacy supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to care homes and to some people in their own homes. It offers additional NHS services including NHS Pharmacy First and flu vaccinations. And it offers some private services such as a weight loss service via patient group directions (PGDs). The pharmacy provides a prescription delivery service.
This was re-inspection of the pharmacy following an intelligence-led inspection in December 2025 when the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.2, 2.2 and 4.3. Since that inspection, the pharmacy has improved how it responds to dispensing mistakes so it can learn from these. It has made sure all staff have either completed or are undertaking the required training for their roles. And it has improved how it monitors its fridge temperatures to make sure medicines are stored correctly. There are, however, areas that require further improvement.

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.
