Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is located in a row of shops in Knightsbridge, London. It provides a face-to-face pharmacist led prescribing service for minor illnesses and weight loss treatments. And sells a range of over-the-counter medicines. Most of the people who access its services are tourists visiting the city. It does not provide any NHS services.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in June 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.6 and 4.2. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. In June, consultation notes did not contain enough detail to show why certain treatments were prescribed and the notes were not written during or straight after the consultation. Also, the pharmacy could not demonstrate that it notifies the person's regular prescriber when a treatment has been supplied. During the reinspection the pharmacy held all its consultation notes electronically and they contained the appropriate information to justify the prescribing decisions made. The pharmacy has also made changes to its system to ensure that a letter is automatically generated after issuing a prescription, so that the persons regular healthcare provider can be notified accordingly.
