Inspection summary findings
Principle 1. Governance

They record their mistakes so that they can learn from them. And act to help stop the same sort of mistakes from happening again. The pharmacy generally keeps the records required by law.
Principle 2. Staff
The pharmacy has enough staff to manage its workload safely. And the team members are comfortable about providing feedback to the pharmacist. The pharmacy enables its team members to act on their own initiative and use their professional judgement, but they lack a structured approach to ongoing training which could mean their skills and knowledge may not always be up to date.
