Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy on a parade of shops in a largely residential area of Broadstairs. It provides NHS services such as the New Medicine Service, the Pharmacy First service, the Hypertension Case Finding service and a warfarin clinic. And it provides several services using patient group directions including, flu and travel vaccinations and a weight management service. It supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to people who need this support. And it delivers medicines to some people’s homes. It also provides supervised administration of certain medicines. The pharmacy provides several face-to-face private services, including ear wax removal, aesthetics, cryotherapy and a private prescribing service. 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. Conditions have been placed on the pharmacy since the inspection.

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.
