Inspection outcome: Standards met
Last inspection: 27/02/2024
Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is located on an industrial park. It is not open to the public and instead it provides NHS services at a distance. The pharmacy dispenses prescriptions and it supplies some medicines in multi-compartment compliance aid packs to help make sure people take their medicines at the right time.
Inspection summary findings
Principle 1. Governance
The pharmacy suitably identifies and manages risks. It has procedures to help ensure that team members complete tasks safely and it keeps the records it needs to by law. The pharmacy gets feedback on its services and its team members understand how to keep people’s private information safe.
Principle 2. Staff
The pharmacy has enough team members to suitably manage the dispensing workload. Pharmacy team members work well together, and they feel comfortable raising concerns and providing feedback. But the pharmacy does not have a structured approach to training and development. This means it may not always be able to show how team members develop the skills relevant to their roles, or keep their knowledge up to date.
Principle 3. Premises
The pharmacy is suitably maintained, and it provides an appropriate space for the provision of healthcare services. Its website contains clear information about the pharmacy and its services.
Principle 4. Services, including medicines management
The pharmacy’s services are accessible and generally well organised so that people receive appropriate care. The pharmacy gets its medicines from reputable suppliers and team members complete some checks to help make sure they are fit for supply. But records of these checks are not always clear, so the pharmacy may not always be able to demonstrate that medicines are suitably stored.
Principle 5. Equipment and facilities
The pharmacy has the equipment and facilities it needs to provide its services. Team members suitably maintain the equipment and they use it in a way that protects people’s privacy.
