Pharmacy context
This is a distance selling pharmacy which offers services to people through its website www.dispensingchemist.co.uk. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions and it supplies some medicines into multi-compartment compliance packs for people to help make sure they remember to take them. It also provides some remote NHS services including the Pharmacy First service and the Discharge Medicines service. The pharmacy is not open to members of the public, so it delivers medicines directly to people's homes. This was the first routine inspection of the pharmacy since it opened in March 2026.
