Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is located on a busy high street in Upper Edmonton, London. It dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. And it sells medicines over the counter. The pharmacy dispenses medicines in multi‐compartment compliance packs to some people. And it offers some NHS services such as NHS Pharmacy First and a drug misuse service. This was a reinspection following an inspection in April 2026 where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.1 and 4.3. This reinspection focused on those Standards which had previously not been met. Since the previous inspection, the pharmacy has implemented Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are appropriately tailored to the pharmacy’s services. Team members can access and follow these SOPs. The pharmacy has also introduced a process for date checking, which includes regular checks of stock and clear recording systems. This helps to ensure that medicines are identified and removed before expiry, reducing the risk of supply of out of date medicines and supporting patient safety.
