Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy located within the same building as a GP practice. The pharmacy serves the diverse local population. It mainly dispenses NHS prescriptions which are received electronically. It has recently started providing the new Pharmacy First service. It also provides medication in multi-compartment compliance packs to people who live in their own homes and need help managing their medicines.
This was a reinspection of the pharmacy following an inspection in October 2024 where the pharmacy was found to be not meeting standard 2.2 but was meeting the other standards. This reinspection focused on the standard which had previously not been met. The pharmacy previously had some team members who were working in the dispensary and were not registered on accredited training courses. They had since been enrolled on the courses.
