Pharmacy context
This is a traditional community pharmacy located within the village of Tarvin, Chester. It dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And it provides medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to help people take their medicines at the right times. The pharmacy offers a range of other services including, a weight loss service, the NHS Pharmacy First service, a substance misuse service and a home delivery service. This was a reinspection following an inspection in November 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.6, 3.1 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. The pharmacy maintains accurate records of high-risk medicines that are retuned by people for destruction and ensures that all high-risk medicines are stored correctly. The premises are clean, generally tidy and adequately maintained. The pharmacy ensures it maintains an adequate record of the temperature ranges of each of it’s fridges.
