Inspection outcome: Standards met
Last inspection: 06/02/2025
Pharmacy context
This is a distance selling pharmacy set within a separate wholesaler premises in the town of East Kilbride. The pharmacy's only service is dispensing prescriptions for long-term conditions which it sends to people living in the United States. The pharmacy receives prescriptions from a UK prescriber and works with an international prescription service provider based in Canada. The superintendent pharmacist is the only employee of the pharmacy. People do not visit the pharmacy in person and medicines are sent by post.
This was a full reinspection following an inspection in August 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.2 and 1.6. The pharmacy has improved against the Standards which had not previously been met. It has suitable risk assessments, and it has completed audits including for its dispensing service and supplying valproate and associated patient information. The pharmacy records details of private prescriptions supplied in an electronic register, and it has progressed well enough with recording outstanding private prescription supplies identified at the previous inspection.
