Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy along a row of shops in Edgware, Middlesex. The pharmacy dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. It’s team members sell over-the-counter medicines and provide advice. The pharmacy provides some people’s medicines inside multi-compartment compliance packs. And the pharmacy offers seasonal flu vaccinations as well as a delivery service.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in October 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.2, 1.3, 3.1 and 4.2. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. In this inspection, the pharmacy was found to have appropriate measures in place to deal with incidents and near miss mistakes, the team ensured the pharmacy was clear of excess clutter and appropriate assurances were provided about the pharmacy’s delivery service.
