Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is situated in an old chapel in the town centre of Oswestry, Shropshire. It dispenses NHS prescriptions, private prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medicines. It also provides a range of services including seasonal flu vaccinations, Pharmacy contraception service (PCS), New medicines service (NMS), Discharge medicines service (DMS) and a travel vaccine service via a patient group direction (PGD). The pharmacy supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people to help them take their medicines at the right time. Some prescriptions are assembled at a hub pharmacy which is owned by the same company. This was a full routine inspection of the pharmacy. The pharmacy was last inspected in March 2016.
