Inspection summary findings

Principle 1. Governance

Standards met

Overall, the pharmacy manages the risks associated with its services adequately. It has written procedures to help deliver services safely and effectively. And it keeps all its records required by law. Members of the pharmacy team understand how they can help to protect vulnerable people and they keep people’s confidential information securely. But they do not always fully review their dispensing mistakes, so they could be missing opportunities to learn from these events.

Principle 2. Staff

Standards met

The pharmacy is staffed appropriately and it has suitably skilled team members to manage its current workload safely. Its team members work well together, and they can raise concerns with their superintendent pharmacist where appropriate.

Principle 3. Premises

Standards met

The pharmacy’s premises are kept secure and they are adequate for the services provided. And people visiting the pharmacy can have a conversation with a team member in private if required.

Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

Standards met

The pharmacy provides a range of services and people with different needs can access its services. It obtains its medicines from reputable sources and it addresses concerns about medicines to ensure people get medicines and medical devices that are fit for purpose. However, it doesn’t always keep records about medicine recalls and safety alerts. This could make it harder for the pharmacy to show that it addresses concerns about relevant medicines safety alerts and recalls appropriately and in a timely manner.

Principle 5. Equipment and facilities

Standards met

The pharmacy has the necessary equipment and facilities to provide its services safely.
