What are GPhC inspection reports?
The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) inspects registered pharmacies against five standards. Reports show whether the pharmacy met the standards, with improvement or enforcement action where needed. Premises ID is the same as the pharmacy's GPhC registration number.

Pharmacy context
This is a pharmacy located on a small business park on the outskirts of Chichester. The pharmacy provides a limited range of services, including NHS dispensing and supplies for people in 20 residential or nursing homes. It also provides medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs (blister packs), to help people living in their own homes to remember when to take their medicines. As part of the pharmacy's NHS contractual arrangements, people are not allowed to visit the pharmacy in person, but medication is delivered to them in their homes using employed delivery drivers. This inspection was carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic period.
