Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is situated
alongside other local shops in a residential area of Slough. It is one of 28
pharmacies as part of an independent group of pharmacies. It dispenses NHS
prescriptions and provides a range of other NHS services including the Pharmacy
First Service, the Hypertension Case Finding service, the contraception
service, the New Medicines Service and supervised consumption. The pharmacy
offers a private travel and weight loss clinic. It also offers a face-to-face
prescribing service, but only a relatively small number of prescriptions are
issued. And it prepares multi-compartment compliance packs for people
needing help taking their medicines and delivers medicines to some people.
This was a routine inspection of the pharmacy which focused on the core
Standards relating to patient safety. Not all the Standards were inspected on
this occasion. The pharmacy was last inspected in September 2015.

What do the inspection outcomes mean?
After an inspection each pharmacy receives one overall outcome. This will be either Standards met or Standards not all met
| The pharmacy has met all the standards for registered pharmacies | |
| The pharmacy has not met one or more of the standards for registered pharmacies |
What does 'pharmacy has not met all standards' mean?
When a pharmacy has not met all standards, they are required to complete an improvement action plan, which you can find via a link at the top left of this page. We monitor progress to check the improvements are made and inspect again after six months to make sure the pharmacy is maintaining these improvements. A new report will then be published.
