Improvement action plan
Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy in central London. It does not dispense NHS prescriptions or provide other NHS services. But it does sell over-the-counter medicines, dispenses private prescriptions and supplies medicines via patient group directions (PGDs). The pharmacy provides the following services: phlebotomy, weight loss, aesthetics, a variety of vaccinations to protect people against childhood diseases or when they are travelling. And people can place orders through the pharmacy website.
Enforcement action has been taken against this pharmacy, which remains in force at the time of this inspection, and there are restrictions on the provision of some services. The enforcement action taken allows the pharmacy to continue providing other services, which are not affected by the restrictions imposed.
This was a full reinspection following an inspection in October 2024 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.6 and 4.2. The pharmacy has mostly ceased providing its private prescribing service due to the enforcement action taken and as such the risks previously identified are currently mitigated.

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.
