Stancliffe Pharmacy (1039682)

GPhC Reference 1039682

Inspection outcome: Standards met

Last inspection: 08/05/2019

Pharmacy context

The pharmacy is in centre of the large village of Bramhope. The pharmacy dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. It provides multi‐compartmental compliance packs to help people take their medication. And it delivers medication to people’s homes.

Inspection summary findings

Principle 1. Governance

Standards met

The pharmacy generally identifies and manages the risks associated with its services. And it keeps the records it needs to by law. People using the pharmacy can provide feedback on its services. The pharmacy team has some level of training and guidance to respond to safeguarding concerns to protect the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. The pharmacy has adequate arrangements to protect people’s private information.​ The pharmacy has written procedures that the team follows. But they have not been recently reviewed or signed by all the team. This means there is a risk that team members may not be following up to date procedures.  The pharmacy team members respond appropriately when errors happen. And they discuss what happened and act to prevent future mistakes. But they don’t record all errors or review them. This means that the team does not have information to identify patterns and reduce mistakes. 

Principle 2. Staff

Standards met

The pharmacy team has the qualifications and skills to support the pharmacy’s services. The team members discuss how they can make improvements. And they act to support the safe and efficient delivery of these services. The pharmacy team members don’t receive feedback on their performance. And they don’t’ have opportunities to complete more training. So, they may not​ keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date.

Principle 3. Premises

Standards met

The pharmacy is clean and secure and the pharmacy​ has adequate arrangements for people to have private conversations with the team. But, the space the team use for dispensing is small. The area appears cluttered and this may increase the risk of errors. 

Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

Standards met

The pharmacy provides services that support people's health needs. The pharmacy manages its services adequately. It takes care when dispensing medicines in devices to help people take their medication. The pharmacy gets its medicines from reputable sources. And it generally stores and manages medicines appropriately. ​The pharmacy delivers medication to people's homes. But it doesn't always get people to sign for the receipt of their medicines. So, it may be difficult to resolve any queries.
 

 

Principle 5. Equipment and facilities

Standards met

The pharmacy has the equipment it needs to provide safe services and protect people’s private information.
