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 pharmacy is the only pharmacy in the village. The pharmacy dispenses NHS and private prescriptions and it offers a prescription delivery service. Following a change of ownership in 2020, the pharmacy is now part of a slightly larger group of pharmacies. The pharmacy was undergoing a refit at the time of this inspection and it didn’t have a consultation room. This limited the number of services it could offer for the time being.
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy identifies and manages the risks associated with its services to help provide them safely. It records and regularly reviews any mistakes that happen during the dispensing process. It uses this information to help make its services safer and reduce any future risk. It protects people’s personal information well and team members understand their role in protecting vulnerable people.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
The pharmacy currently has just about enough team members for the services it provides though future expected changes to the team may make it harder for the team to cope with its workload effectively. The team members generally have the right training for their roles. They work effectively together, but there is little structured ongoing training. So it may be harder for them to keep their knowledge and skills up to date.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy's premises are currently undergoing a refit, but the premises are secure and generally provide an appropriate environment to deliver the pharmacy's services.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy generally provides its services safely. It obtains its medicines from reputable sources. And it manages them appropriately so that they are safe for people to use. It takes the right action in response to safety alerts so that people get medicines and medical devices that are safe to use.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
The pharmacy has the equipment and facilities it needs to provide its services safely. And it keeps them clean. The team uses its facilities and equipment to keep people's private information safe.
