Inspection summary findings

Principle 1. Governance

The pharmacy has written procedures to help make sure the team works safely. Its team members record their mistakes so they can learn from them. But they do not always review everything that goes wrong. So they may miss some opportunities to learn. The pharmacy keeps the records it needs to by law. And it keeps people’s private information safe. The pharmacy’s team members understand how to recognise and report concerns about vulnerable people to help keep them safe.

Principle 2. Staff

The pharmacy has enough staff to manage its workload. Pharmacy team members are properly trained for the jobs they do. And they feel comfortable speaking up about any concerns they have.

Principle 3. Premises

The pharmacy is generally clean and tidy. It is secure and has enough space to allow safe working. Its layout generally protects people’s privacy.

Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

The pharmacy effectively promotes the services it provides so that people know about them and can access them easily. If it can’t provide a service, it directs people to somewhere that can help. The pharmacy’s working practices are generally safe and effective. It generally stores medicines appropriately and carries out checks to make sure they are in good condition and suitable to supply. But members of the pharmacy team do not always know when higher-risk medicines are being handed out. So they might not always check that medicines are still suitable or give people advice about taking them.

Principle 5. Equipment and facilities

The pharmacy has the equipment and facilities it needs to provide its services. The pharmacy’s team members use these in a way that protects people’s privacy.
