Pharmacy context
This is a private pharmacy in a business centre in Folkestone town centre. It dispenses private prescriptions and provides a face-to-face prescribing service mostly for acute infections. And it provides a weight loss service and vitamin B12 service using patient group directions. This was a re-inspection following an inspection in May 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.6 and 4.2. This re-inspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Following the last inspection, the pharmacy has carried out risk assessments for its prescribing service and has undertaken an audit. It keeps consultation records for all treatments and refusals, and it routinely shares information with people’s regular prescriber. And the pharmacy now carries out all its consultations face-to-face.
