Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is in an office building on the outskirts of Knutsford in Cheshire. It acts as a hub pharmacy assembling NHS prescriptions for some of the company’s other pharmacies. It uses automation and barcode technology to support in providing this service. And it delivers the prescriptions back to the other pharmacies.
This was the first routine inspection of the pharmacy since it was registered in June 2025.
