The Lister Hospital Pharmacy Department (1040979)

Inspection outcome: Standards met

Last inspection: 18/06/2019

Pharmacy context

This is a private hospital pharmacy. The hospital is part of the HCA group and provides care for adults offering surgery, medical care, urgent care, and outpatient services including diagnostic imaging. It specialises in providing fertility treatment which accounts for a large proportion of the pharmacy’s workload. Hospital activity is regulated by the Care Quality Commission. The pharmacy department is registered with the GPhC so it can sell a small range of Pharmacy medicines and dispense very occasional private prescriptions for non-hospital patients. This represents only a very small proportion of the pharmacy activity.
