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 community pharmacy located on a major route in and out of Lancaster city centre. It is situated in a residential area without GP surgeries nearby. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, private prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medicines. It also provides a range of services including a travel clinic and seasonal flu vaccinations. It supplies local care homes, and some people get their medicines inside multi-compartment compliance aids to help them take their medicines at the right time.
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy team follows written procedures, and this helps to maintain the safety and effectiveness of the pharmacy’s services. The pharmacy keeps the records it needs to by law. And members of the team are given training so that they know how to keep private information safe. They record things that go wrong and discuss them to help identify learning and reduce the chances of similar mistakes happening again.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
There are enough staff to manage the pharmacy's workload and they are appropriately trained for the jobs they do. Members of the pharmacy team complete some additional training to help them keep their knowledge up to date.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy premises are suitable for the services provided. A consultation room is available to enable private conversations.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy manages and provides its services safely. It gets its medicines from recognised 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 maintain the equipment so that it is safe to use.
