Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is in a row of shops in a residential area of Inverness. It dispenses NHS prescriptions and sells a range of over-the-counter medicines. The pharmacy also provides medicines to some people in multi-compartment compliance packs to help them take their medicines properly. Pharmacy team members provide other healthcare services including the NHS Pharmacy First Service. And the pharmacist provides a private medicated weight loss service. This was a reinspection following an inspection in November 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 2.1. This reinspection focused on that Standard which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has employed a regular full-time pharmacist and additional team members, so it is no longer reliant on relief team members and pharmacists. The pharmacy is now able to keep up to date with key tasks and the team is able to manage its workload efficiently.
