Pharmacy context
This is an independent pharmacy situated off a main road, in a parade of shops on a residential area. Its main activity is dispensing NHS prescriptions. Other services that the pharmacy offers include NMS, Pharmacy First service, Hypertension Case-Finding service, free contraception, flu vaccination service and lateral flow device test kits. It supplies multi-compartment compliance packs for people in the community who need this additional support. It also provides a supervised administration service for certain medicines. This was a desktop reinspection following an inspection in April 2026 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 4.3. This reinspection focused on the Standard which had previously not been met. The pharmacy has provided evidence demonstrating that an expiry date checking process has now been implemented to monitor the expiry dates of medicines.
