Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is in a business centre in Slaithwaite, near Huddersfield. It dispenses private prescriptions for a small range of unlicensed topical and oral medicines to help treat hair loss following a private online consultation. People access the service via its website, www.unthin.co.uk. The pharmacy does not have a contract to provide NHS services and people do not access the pharmacy premises directly.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in December 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.2, 3.1, 4.2, and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met, and the core Standards relating to patient safety. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has carried out audits on how it dispenses medicines and checks that prescribing consultations follow its policies. It keeps appropriate records of prescriber’s consultations with people and obtains additional information when necessary. And it labels medication in line with requirements. Although the pharmacy has made some improvements in relation to its risk assessments, and they consider and mitigate risks, some omissions still remain. And it has updated the layout and information provided on its website, however there are parts of the website that remain potentially misleading.

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.
