Pharmacy context
The pharmacy is located on a busy road. It relocated from a nearby shop in 2020. The owner of the pharmacy owns four other pharmacies across southeast London. The pharmacy team members dispense NHS and private prescriptions and sell a range of over-the-counter medicines. They provide a range of NHS services such as flu vaccinations, the hypertension case finding service, the New Medicines Service, and the local minor ailments service. They also prepare medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs for those who require them.
This was a reinspection following an inspection in December 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 4.3. This reinspection focused on that Standard which had previously not been met. Following the last inspection, the pharmacy had stored its medicines securely and the pharmacy team had started recording the checks they carried out on medicine expiry dates.
