Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy in the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Its main activity is dispensing NHS prescriptions, some of which it delivers to people's homes. It also sells medicines over the counter and offers the NHS Pharmacy First service and Hypertension case-finding service. It provides a substance misuse service and supplies some people’s medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to help them take their medicines correctly. The pharmacy sends some prescriptions to be dispensed offsite at another pharmacy within the company known as a hub.
This was a routine inspection of the pharmacy which focused on the core Standards relating to patient safety. Not all the Standards were inspected on this occasion. The pharmacy was last inspected in February 2016.

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.
