Jade Pharmacy (Eastware) (9011536)

Inspection outcome: Standards met

Last inspection: 26/10/2021

Pharmacy context

The pharmacy was inspected during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pharmacy is in a new building, having moved in May 2021 from the other end of the town, to be close to the new doctors' surgery. The pharmacy team members provide NHS dispensing services, including medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people, and to some people being treated for addiction. They also provide flu vaccinations and a delivery service.

Inspection summary findings

Standards met

Members of the pharmacy team usually work to professional standards and generally identify and manage risks. The pharmacy mostly keeps its records up to date. Its team members understand how they can help to protect the welfare of vulnerable people. And the pharmacy team members keep people's private information safe. But they don't regularly record mistakes they make during the dispensing process. This could make learning from these events to avoid mistakes being repeated more difficult.

Principle 2. Staff

Standards met

The pharmacy has enough team members to provide its services, and they work effectively together and are supportive of one another. They have the appropriate skills, qualifications and training to deliver the pharmacy’s services safely and effectively. A more structured approach to on-going training would help make sure team members’ knowledge and skills are kept up to date.
