Pharmacy context
This is a busy community pharmacy next to a medical centre in Hove. It provides NHS services such as dispensing, the Pharmacy First service, NHS contraceptive service, and Covid and Flu vaccinations. It provides medication in multi-compartment compliance packs for people who need this additional support. And most of these packs are dispensed by the company’s offsite dispensing hub. The pharmacy offers a home delivery service to people’s homes. This was an intelligence-led inspection of the pharmacy following information received by the GPhC. Not all the Standards were inspected on this occasion. The pharmacy was last inspected in July 2017.

What do the inspection outcomes mean?
After an inspection each pharmacy receives one overall outcome. This will be either Standards met or Standards not all met
| The pharmacy has met all the standards for registered pharmacies | |
| The pharmacy has not met one or more of the standards for registered pharmacies |
What does 'pharmacy has not met all standards' mean?
When a pharmacy has not met all standards, they are required to complete an improvement action plan, which you can find via a link at the top left of this page. We monitor progress to check the improvements are made and inspect again after six months to make sure the pharmacy is maintaining these improvements. A new report will then be published.
