Pharmacy context
This private pharmacy is located on a business park on the outskirts of Stafford. It specialises in providing products used for non-surgical cosmetic procedures to healthcare professionals and aesthetic practitioners via its website www.facespharmacy.com. The pharmacy does not have an NHS contract.
This was a desktop inspection following an inspection in February 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 1.1. This reinspection focused on the Standard which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has reviewed and updated its standard operating procedures, it has implemented updated processes to provide assurances that prescriptions are issued in accordance with prescribing guidelines for non-surgical cosmetic and aesthetic products. These procedures are regularly audited and are now a standard part of the pharmacy's working processes. The pharmacy has provided evidence to show that the new processes are being followed in practice.
