Inspection summary findings
Principle 1. Governance
The pharmacy does not
always identify and manage the risks associated with the services that it
provides. It does not carry out thorough checks when prescribers register to
use its services, so it cannot provide assurance that they are who they claim
to be. And it does not periodically check the status of the prescriber’s
professional registration, so may not know if the status changes. The pharmacy
has written procedures in place, but they do not always cover the way it
operates so it’s team members may not always fully understand what is expected
of them. And it does not record mistakes that happen. So, its team members may
miss out on learning opportunities.
Principle 2. Staff
The pharmacy has enough
suitably trained team members to provide the services that it offers. And they
manage the workload in a safe manner. There is no ongoing structured training
for its team members so they may not keep their skills and knowledge up to
date.
Principle 3. Premises
The pharmacy is clean and
well maintained. There is adequate space for it to provide the services that it
offers. The pharmacy website clearly explains how it provides its services and
who is responsible for safely providing them.
Principle 4. Services, including medicines management
The pharmacy’s services are
accessible and suitably managed. It obtains its medicines from licensed
suppliers and stores them appropriately. And it carries out checks to make sure
they are safe to people to use.
Principle 5. Equipment and facilities
The pharmacy has the
equipment it needs to provide the services that it offers. And it uses its
facilities in a way that maintains safe and effective provision of its services.
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.
