Inspection outcome: Standards met

Last inspection: 02/10/2019

Pharmacy context

This is a community pharmacy situated amongst a small number of other retail shops, in a residential area of Bebington, Wirral. The pharmacy premises are easily accessible for people, with adequate space in the consultation room and retail area. The pharmacy sells a range of over-the-counter medicines and dispenses private and NHS prescriptions. And it has a consultation room available for private conversations.

Inspection summary findings

Principle 1. Governance

Standards met

The pharmacy manages the risks associated with its services and protects peoples’ information. Members of the pharmacy team work to professional standards and are clear about their roles and responsibilities. And they record things that go wrong, so that they can learn from them. But they do not record all of their mistakes, so they may miss some opportunities to learn.

Principle 2. Staff

Standards met

​The pharmacy has enough staff to manage its workload safely. The team members have the training they need to be able to do their jobs. But they do little ongoing training, so their skills and knowledge may not always be up to date. ​They are comfortable and feel supported when speaking to the pharmacist. And receive feedback informally from them. The pharmacy enables its team members to act on their own initiative and use their professional judgement.

Principle 3. Premises

Standards met

The pharmacy is clean and generally tidy. It is a suitable place to provide healthcare. It has a consultation room so that people can have a conversation in private.

Principle 4. Services, including medicines management

Standards met

The pharmacy’s services are accessible to most people and they are generally well managed, so people receive their medicines safely. But members of the pharmacy team do not always know when high-risk medicines are being handed out. So, they may not always make extra checks or give people advice about how to take them. ​The pharmacy sources and stores medicines safely and carries out some checks to help make sure that medicines are in good condition and suitable to supply. 

Principle 5. Equipment and facilities

Standards met

The pharmacy has the equipment it needs to provide services safely. I​t is used in a way that protects privacy. And the electrical equipment is regularly tested for safety purposes.
