Pharmacy context
This is a distance selling pharmacy in a business unit in North London. It dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And it supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people who need this additional support. The pharmacy also provides a private face-to-face travel vaccination service. Enforcement action has been taken against this pharmacy, which remains in force at the time of this inspection, and there are restrictions on the provision of some services. The enforcement action taken allows the pharmacy to continue providing other services, which are not affected by the restrictions imposed.This was a reinspection following an inspection in December 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.3, 2.2 and 4.2. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met and had been addressed by an action plan (Standards 1.1, 1.3 and 2.2). Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has updated its standard operating procedures (SOPs) and all staff have read and signed the relevant SOPs. Pharmacy team members are enrolled onto training courses relevant to their role and are aware of what can and cannot be done in the absence of the Responsible Pharmacist.
