Pharmacy context
This is an independently owned community pharmacy. The pharmacy is on a small parade of local shops and businesses in Greenford. It dispenses prescriptions. And it has a selection of over‐the‐counter medicines and other pharmacy related products for sale. The pharmacy provides a range of services including a travel vaccination service. And a flu and Covid vaccination service. And it can provide medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs for people who need them.
This was a reinspection of the pharmacy to check compliance with the Improvement Notice which was served on 24 May 2024. An initial follow up visit to the pharmacy in August 2024 found that the terms of the IN had been met and the IN was lifted. The reinspection was necessary to seek assurance that improvements have been sustained. Not all the standards were inspected on this occasion. This inspection found that in general improvements had been sustained with standards met. But some areas for improvement remained regarding staff training and medicines management.
