Niva Pharmacy Limited (1034164)

Inspection outcome: Standards met

Last inspection: 11/08/2022

Pharmacy context

This is a community pharmacy that is situated on a main road in the outskirts of Leicester. Most of its activity is dispensing NHS prescriptions and selling medicines over the counter. The pharmacy supplies medicines in multi‐compartment compliance packs to people who live in their own homes and in supported accommodation. Other services that the pharmacy provides include delivering medicines to people's homes.

Inspection summary findings

Principle 1. Governance

Standards met

Overall, the pharmacy identifies and manages the risks associated with the provision of its services. It generally keeps the records it needs to by law. And the pharmacy manages people’s personal information safely. The pharmacy has suitable procedures to learn from its mistakes.

Principle 2. Staff

Standards met

The pharmacy’s team members adequately manage the day‐to‐day workload within the pharmacy. The team has the range of experience and skills needed to provide its services safely. Team members are supported in their development and can raise concerns if needed.

Principle 3. Premises

Standards met

The pharmacy keeps its premises safe, secure, and appropriately maintained. And it has made changes to help keep its team members and people using the pharmacy safe during the pandemic.

Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

Standards met

The pharmacy's healthcare services are adequately managed and are accessible to people. The pharmacy gets its medicines and medical devices from reputable sources. It mainly stores them safely and it knows the right actions to take if medicines or devices are not safe to use to protect people’s health and wellbeing. But the pharmacy doesn’t make a record of action it has taken in response to an alert. This makes it harder for the pharmacy to demonstrate how it has protected people. 

Principle 5. Equipment and facilities

Standards met

Members of the pharmacy team have the equipment and facilities they need for the services they provide. They maintain the equipment so that it is safe to use.
