Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is next to a surgery in the South Yorkshire town of Mexborough. The pharmacy’s main service is dispensing prescriptions. It supplies some medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs, designed to help people take their medicines. And it provides a medicine delivery service to people’s homes. The pharmacy provides a range of NHS consultation services including the Pharmacy First service, blood pressure checks, New Medicine Service (NMS), NHS contraception services and seasonal flu and COVID vaccinations. The pharmacy offers some private consultation services also, including an ear irrigation service, travel vaccinations and a weight management service.
This was the first routine inspection of the pharmacy since it relocated from nearby premises in October 2024.
