Pharmacy context
This is a traditional community pharmacy located amongst other retail shops in Little Hulton. NHS dispensing is the main activity, and it also provides a number of other NHS services including Pharmacy First, the New Medicine Service (NMS) and the seasonal influenza vaccination service. The pharmacy supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people to help them take their medicines at the right time. The pharmacy also provides the emergency hormonal contraception (EHC) and contraception services as well as a private weight loss service and an ear wax removal service. And it sells a range of over-the-counter medicines.
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 March 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.
