Pharmacy context
This busy community pharmacy is located next door to a GP practice in a residential area of Maidenhead. Its main activity is dispensing NHS prescriptions and providing other NHS services such as Pharmacy First. The pharmacy also sells over the counter medicines, dispenses private prescriptions and provides a small number of private services. This was a reinspection following an inspection in February 2026 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1,1.6, 2.2 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Overall, the pharmacy has made improvements to its Standard Operating Procedures, record keeping, staff training, and medicines management. However, it must sustain these improvements and continue to strengthen its processes, ensuring that record keeping is consistently monitored and maintained.
