Pharmacy context
This pharmacy is located on a row of shops in Plumstead, London. It does not provide any NHS services but sells over-the-counter medicines and dispenses medicines against private prescriptions. The superintendent pharmacist (SI) is an independent prescriber and provides a private prescribing service face-to-face and at a distance, for a range of conditions. This includes weight loss, minor ailments, and travel vaccines.
This was a desktop reinspection of the pharmacy following an inspection in January 2025 where the pharmacy was found to be not meeting standards 1.1, 1.2, and 1.6 but was meeting other standards. This reinspection focused on those standards which had previously not been met. Following the last inspection, the pharmacy had implemented new standard operating procedures. It had also undertaken risk assessments and clinical audits for its prescribing service. And it had introduced a new process to document clinical records.
