Pharmacy context
This is an independently owned pharmacy near to one of the main GP practices and a Community Hospital in Bicester. It dispenses people's prescriptions, sells over-the-counter medicines and offers healthcare advice. It also offers a range of other services including NHS Pharmacy First and flu vaccinations in the autumn and winter seasons. This was a reinspection following an inspection in October 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.6 and 2.2. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since then the pharmacy has been using legally-compliant bound controlled drugs registers and it has enrolled its staff on suitably accredited training courses.
