Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy on a main street in Rothesay, Isle of Bute. Its main activity is dispensing NHS prescriptions. And it supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to help people take their medicines properly. The pharmacy offers a delivery service and the NHS Pharmacy First Service. The Superintendent Pharmacist provides a private weight management service. This was a reinspection following an inspection in October 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1,1, 1.6, 4.3 and 4.4. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has implemented a procedure to support the NHS Pharmacy First service. And team members have read this. Team members perform checks on expiry dates of medicines and fridge temperatures to ensure medicines remain fit for use. And they record their actions. Supplies of treatment under Patient Group Direction (PGDs) are entered into the patient medication record and the pharmacy maintains records of each consultation. The pharmacy has implemented a process to action Medicines Healthcare and Products Regulatory Agency patient safety alerts and recalls and the Superintendent Pharmacist has oversight of this.
