Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is situated in a business unit on an industrial park in the outskirts of Maidenhead. It is not accessible to members of the public. It operates as a central assembly hub mainly dispensing medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs for several pharmacies associated with the McParland group. The pharmacy also dispenses some electronic repeat dispensing prescriptions for one of the pharmacies. The unit also contains the company’s wholesaling operation which is regulated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in March 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.6 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has updated some of its written procedures and record keeping has improved. However, it needs to make further improvements to its processes to ensure the pharmacy consistently operates safely and that the working environment is conducive to safe practice.
