Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is located on a local high street in East London. The pharmacy mainly serves the local community and provides NHS services such as dispensing, the New Medicine Service, the contraception service, flu vaccinations and the Pharmacy First Service. It also offers private services such as treatment for erectile dysfunction, travel vaccinations and weight loss treatments via Patient Group Directions (PGDs). And it provides medication in multi-compartment compliance packs to people who need help managing their medicines.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in July 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 2.2. This reinspection focused on that Standard which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the member of staff that was not trained for the role had left the pharmacy and all current pharmacy team members have either completed training or are on an accredited course appropriate for their role. The pharmacists also provided certificates for the training they completed in delivering the pharmacies services via PGDs.
