Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is situated in central London close to Harley Street. It sells over-the-counter medicines, dispenses prescriptions, and it provides other pharmacy services such as health checks and vaccinations. Most services are offered privately. The store has a busy retail business selling health and wellbeing products which are also available through an online shop. Some other healthcare services operate from the premises and the pharmacy also has a Wholesale Dealer’s Authorisation. These services and activities are not regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in October 2024 when the pharmacy did not meet Standard 1.1. This reinspection focused on the Standard which had previously not been met and associated activities. Following the last inspection, the pharmacy has introduced additional safety measures in relation to sales of Pharmacy-only medicines, including improving its approach to staff training.
