Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is located in a business park in Bishop’s Stortford. The pharmacy is closed to the public. And it provides its services online via their website, www.curatehealth.co.uk. It currently offers a private prescribing service for the treatment of weight loss. People can access this service initially by completing an online consultation questionnaire. These questionnaires are reviewed by pharmacist independent prescribers (PIPs). And PIPs can issue private prescriptions for the medicines following consultations, where appropriate, which are then dispensed by the pharmacy and delivered to people’s homes.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in April 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.6 and 4.2. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy now generally keeps more detailed consultation records which explain how a prescribing decision has been made. However, on occasion, it is not always clear why dose changes have been made so this remains an ongoing area for improvement for the pharmacy. The pharmacy is also now able to show that it independently verifies information about people’s body mass index (BMI). And it completes consultations with people as per its prescribing policies to help ensure that people receive medicine which is appropriate for them.
