Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy in a residential area and is part of a chain of pharmacies. The pharmacy provides NHS services such as dispensing prescriptions, the Pharmacy First service, the New Medicines service, and flu and COVID vaccinations. The pharmacy supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to people who need this support to manage their medicines at home. And it runs a travel clinic and weight management service using patient group directions (PGDs).
This was a reinspection following an inspection in March 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 4.2. This reinspection focused mainly on that Standard which had previously not been met. Since the previous inspection the pharmacy has replaced its anaphylaxis kit and implemented a system to routinely check the expiry date of the anaphylaxis kit.
