Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy in a residential suburb of Brighton. It provides NHS
services such as dispensing. And it offers a range of private services such as cryotherapy
and ear irrigation, and supplies prescription‐only medicines under Patient Group
Directions. The pharmacy dispensed medicines into multi‐compartment compliance
packs for people who need this additional support. And it offers a delivery service to
people’s homes. The pharmacy also works with a third‐party CQC‐registered prescribing
service who issue prescriptions for weight loss medicines.
This was a desktop inspection following an inspection in October 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 1.1. This reinspection focused on the Standard which had previously not been met. Following the inspection, the pharmacy provided evidence about a range of checks it had undertaken about the third-party prescribing service it works with.
