Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is located in Wellingborough town centre alongside a mix of other independent outlets. 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 seasonal flu vaccinations and supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people who need this support to help them take their medicines at the right time. It also supplies medicines to some people receiving substance misuse treatment.
This was a routine inspection and was the first inspection of the pharmacy since it opened in 2024.
