Improvement action plan
Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy located next to a doctor’s surgery on a high street in central Southampton. The pharmacy dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And its team members sell over‐the‐counter medicines and provide advice. The pharmacy offers services which include Pharmacy First, New Medicine Service (NMS) and Blood Pressure Case-Finding. The pharmacy also offers a contraceptive service and a flu vaccination service. This was a full reinspection following an inspection in July 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 1.6. The pharmacy has since started ensuring records for some medicines are maintained appropriately.

What do the inspection outcomes mean?
After an inspection each pharmacy receives one overall outcome. This will be either Standards met or Standards not all met
| The pharmacy has met all the standards for registered pharmacies | |
| The pharmacy has not met one or more of the standards for registered pharmacies |
What does 'pharmacy has not met all standards' mean?
When a pharmacy has not met all standards, they are required to complete an improvement action plan, which you can find via a link at the top left of this page. We monitor progress to check the improvements are made and inspect again after six months to make sure the pharmacy is maintaining these improvements. A new report will then be published.
