Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is one of three branches. It is situated in a parade of shops on a main road co-located with a general store. In addition to providing NHS dispensing services, the pharmacy provides the Hypertension Case Finding Service, the Pharmacy First service, the Contraception service, the New Medicines Service and flu vaccinations. It supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to a number of people to help them take their medicines safely and delivers medicines to some patients.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in June 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 2.2 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Following the previous inspection a pharmacy team member enrolled onto a course appropriate for their role. Furthermore, the pharmacy implemented a procedure for checking medicines expiry dates and routinely recording the fridge temperature.
