Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

Standards met

The pharmacy provides a range of services to support the health needs of the local community. Medicines are stored appropriately and regularly checked to ensure they are fit for supply. Team members take action in response to safety alerts, so people get medicines and medical devices that are safe to use, but they don't keep any records to show what they did.

Principle 5. Equipment and facilities

Standards met

The pharmacy has the equipment and facilities it needs to provide its services safely. The team uses its facilities and equipment to keep people's private information secure. But they don't do enough to ensure staff have the right level of access to patient information.
