Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy located amongst a few shops in Malvern, Worcestershire. The pharmacy dispenses NHS and private prescriptions, sells a range of over‐the‐counter medicines, and provides health advice. It also offers the New Medicine Service (NMS), local deliveries and provides medicines inside multi‐compartment compliance packs for people who find it difficult to manage their medicines.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in September 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 2.2, 2.4, 2.5, 3.1 and 5.2. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. In this inspection, the pharmacy was found to have enrolled trainee staff on the appropriate accredited courses in accordance with their role(s), assess their performance, provide resources for ongoing training, the premises were clear of excess clutter and certain medicines which required additional controls were suitably stored.
