Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is on a small shopping precinct in a largely residential area. It dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And it provides some NHS services such as the New Medicine Service and blood pressure checks. It supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people. And it provides substance misuse medications to a small number of people.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in October 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 4.3. This reinspection focused on the standard which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy is storing its medicines safely and securely as required. And it has implemented a robust date-checking process to ensure that the medicines it supplies are suitable for use.
