Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is on a high street in Tadcaster town centre. Pharmacy team members dispense NHS prescriptions and sell a range of over‐the‐counter medicines. The pharmacy provides services, such as the NHS Pharmacy First service and seasonal flu vaccinations. Team members provide medicines to people in multi‐compartment compliance packs. And they also dispense these packs for four of the company’s other pharmacies. They deliver medicines to people’s homes.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in September 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.7, 3.1 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since the last inspection, the pharmacy has reviewed its standard operating procedures (SOPs) and has made sure that all pharmacy team members have read them. It has removed all accumulated confidential waste and implemented a new system to segregate and destroy confidential waste. It has moved and segregated bottles of old chemicals to help reduce risks while it arranges for them to be safely destroyed. And it has implemented new systems to make sure fridge temperatures are properly monitored, and to ensure that people receive the right information when they are provided with medicines in a multi-compartment compliance pack.
