Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy next to a surgery in Waterlooville, Hampshire. The pharmacy dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And its team members sell over‐the‐counter medicines and provide advice. The pharmacy offers a few services such as Blood Pressure testing, Pharmacy First and the New Medicine Service (NMS). The pharmacy also provides flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in June 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.6 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. The pharmacy is now regularly ensuring medicines stocks are balanced and thermolabile medicines are stored in an appropriate environment.
