Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is in a business centre unit on the outskirts of Cardiff. It is associated with Numan, a CQC-registered online prescribing service owned by Vir Health Ltd. The pharmacy's only service is dispensing private prescriptions for adults aged 18 and over, written by prescribers employed by the prescribing service. The pharmacy mostly supplies prescription medicines for weight loss, but also supplies medicines for erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, hair loss and low testosterone levels. People do not visit the pharmacy in person and medicines are sent by post or courier. This was a reinspection following an inspection in September 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 1.1. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. The pharmacy demonstrated due diligence by seeking assurance that the prescribing service it worked with had implemented robust measures to minimise the risk of false or misleading information going unrecognised. It had satisfied itself that appropriate safeguards were in place to support safe and clinically appropriate prescribing.
