Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is located within a row of shops in Colindale, London. It dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And it sells medicines over the counter. The pharmacy provides some NHS services such as Pharmacy First. And it offers a private travel vaccination service and weight loss service which are delivered via patient group directions (PGDs). The pharmacy supplies medicines to some people in multi-compartment compliance packs to help them take their medicines safely. And it delivers some peoples prescriptions to their homes.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in February 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1 and 4.2. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has stopped its private prescribing service for weight loss and travel vaccinations. It is now providing these services via patient group directions (PGDs). The superintendent pharmacist has signed the necessary PGDs to provide the services safely and the pharmacy is keeping the necessary records of supplies of medicines. The pharmacy is also now highlighting prescriptions containing higher-risk medicines so that people taking these medicines receive the appropriate advice about their medicines.
