Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is located within a parade of shops in a residential area of West London. The pharmacy mainly serves the local community as well as tourists visiting the area. It dispenses NHS prescriptions received electronically. It also provides medication in multi-compartment compliance packs to people who live in their own homes and need help managing their medicines. Enforcement action has been
taken against this pharmacy, which remains in force at the time of this
inspection, and there are restrictions on the provision of some services. The
enforcement action taken allows the pharmacy to continue providing other services,
which are not affected by the restrictions imposed
This was a reinspection of the pharmacy following an inspection in September 2024 where the pharmacy was found to be not meeting standards 1.7 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those standards which had previously not been met. Following the last inspection, the pharmacy had introduced new procedures for managing stock and confidential information. Pharmacy team members had also completed appropriate training about protecting patient confidentiality.
