Pharmacy context
This is a pharmacy in the town of Hamilton in Lanarkshire. Its main activities are dispensing NHS prescriptions and supplying some people with their medication as individual doses in compliance packs to help them take their medicine correctly. It provides NHS services such as NHS Pharmacy First.
This was a reinspection following an inspection
in June 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 4.4. This reinspection
focused primarily on the Standard which had previously not been met. The pharmacy had
improved against this standard. Team members now action notifications about
drug alerts and medicine recalls in a timely manner and keep a record of the action they
have taken in response to a notification.
