Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is situated next to a medical centre. It is located in a residential area of Wigan, Greater Manchester. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, private prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medicines. It also provides a range of services including the NHS Pharmacy First service. The pharmacy supplies medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to some people to help them take their medicines at the right time. The pharmacy recently changed ownership in the past 12-months.
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy team follows written procedures, and this helps them to provide services safely and effectively. The pharmacy keeps the required records. And members of the team show an understanding of how to keep people’s information safe. Members of the team record and discuss when things go wrong. But they do not always assess the risks when implementing new systems to ensure all of the risks have been considered and suitably managed.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
The pharmacy has enough team members to manage the workload safely. And they complete the necessary training, or undertake training, for their role. But ongoing learning is not routinely provided, so learning needs may not always be identified or addressed.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy premises are suitable for the services provided. A consultation room is available for people to have a private conversation with a member of the team.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy's services are easy to access. And it manages and provides them safely. It gets its medicines from licensed sources, stores them appropriately and carries out regular checks to help make sure that they are in good condition. But members of the pharmacy team do not always know when they are handing out higher-risk medicines. So they might not always be able to check that the medicines are still suitable, or give people advice about taking them.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
Members of the pharmacy team have access to the equipment they need for the services they provide. And they keep the equipment clean in a manner expected of a healthcare setting.
