Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is situated in an industrial unit on a business park and is generally not open to members of the public. It has a website (www.Inspirepharmacy.co.uk) which provides information about the pharmacy and its services. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, and provides some other NHS funded services including the Pharmacy First Service. The pharmacy delivers medicines using its own drivers and also posts medicines by Royal Mail tracked service. It also dispenses a large number of private prescriptions, including those issued by third‐party online prescribing services, which are not regulated by any UK based healthcare regulator, many of which are for higher risk prescription only medicines (POMs). This was an intelligence-led inspection of the pharmacy following information received by the GPhC. Not all the Standards were inspected on this occasion. The pharmacy was last inspected in June 2023 and all standards were met.

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.
