Inspection summary findings
Principle 1. Governance
The pharmacy identifies and
manages the risks associated with the services that it provides. It carries out
checks when prescribers register to use its services, so it can provide
assurances that they are who they claim to be and have the authority to
prescribe. 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. Team members record mistakes that happen to help them
learn from them and improve their ways of working.
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. The pharmacy does not provide ongoing
structured training for its team members, so they may not keep their skills and
knowledge up to date.

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.

accessible and suitably managed. It obtains its medicines from licensed
suppliers and stores them appropriately. And it carries out checks to make sure

equipment it needs to provide the services that it offers. And it uses its facilities
