Pharmacy context

This is a closed pharmacy which is not accessible to members of the public. It dispenses NHS prescriptions for people who reside in care homes. Some of these medicines are supplied in in multi-compartment compliance packs to help people take their medicines at the right time. It also sells and supplies a range of pharmacy only and prescription only medicines through its website 'www.medicinemarketplace.com'. This was a full reinspection following an inspection in January 2026 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1 and 4.2. The pharmacy had implemented a new website and prescribing process for its weight loss service. This included a full risk assessment, which addresses the risks associated with the provision of weight loss services online. The pharmacy had also created a new process to obtain accurate information about people’s height and weight using a variety of different sources. The prescriber is able to independently verify this information which helps to ensure people who use the service meet its criteria.
