Pharmacy context
This is a distance-selling pharmacy which provides its services via its website (olympiapharmacy.co.uk). The pharmacy does not provide NHS services. It dispenses private prescriptions generated by external prescribers. The types of medicines mainly dispensed include treatments for acute conditions such as infections, weight management and gender reassignment. The pharmacy is closed to the public and medicines are delivered to people via the Royal Mail.
This was a reinspection of the pharmacy following an inspection in November 2024 where the pharmacy was found to be not meeting standards 1.1, 1.3, 2.2 and 4.3, but was meeting the other standards. This reinspection focused on those standards which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has carried out a risk assessment and checks on third-party prescribing services, enrolled members of staff onto suitable training, and taken steps to ensure that medicines requiring cold storage are stored suitably.
