This pharmacy is located in a parade of shops in a residential area in Grays, Essex. It dispenses people’s prescriptions, sells over‐the‐counter medicines and provides health advice. It offers consultations and some medicines through the NHS Pharmacy First service. And it dispenses some people’s medicines in multi‐compartment compliance packs to help them manage their medicines. It also offers a delivery service to people locally. Enforcement action has been taken against this pharmacy, which remains in force at the time of this inspection, and there are restrictions on the provision of some services. The enforcement action taken allows the pharmacy to continue providing other services, which are not affected by the restrictions imposed. This was a routine inspection of the pharmacy which focused on the core Standards relating to patient safety. Not all the Standards were inspected on this occasion. The pharmacy was last inspected in September 2021 and all standards were met.
