Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
Overall, the pharmacy’s working practices are safe and effective. It has adequate standard operating procedures in place to manage risks and make sure its team members work safely. But these are due for review and may not reflect current best practice. The pharmacy team members satisfactorily record their mistakes while dispensing medicines to learn from them and help stop the same mistake happening again. They maintain a dispensing audit trail so they can easily show who completed each step of the process if there is a query. The pharmacy generally keeps the records it needs to by law. Members of the pharmacy team protect people’s private information, and they are appropriately trained so they know how to safeguard the welfare of vulnerable people.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met

The pharmacy supports them in completing appropriate training and they understand their roles and responsibilities. Members of the team feel able to provide feedback on how the pharmacy could improve its services.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy is clean, bright, secure and suitable for the provision of healthcare services. The pharmacy prevents people accessing its premises when it is closed so its medicines stock is safe, and people's private information is protected.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
