Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy in Glasgow. It dispenses NHS prescriptions including supplying medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs. The pharmacy provides substance misuse services and dispenses private prescriptions. Pharmacy team members advise on minor ailments and medicines use. And they supply over-the-counter medicines and prescription only medicines via 'patient group directions' (PGDs).
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
Pharmacy team members follow good working practices. And they manage dispensing risks to keep services safe. Pharmacy team members recognise and appropriately respond to safeguarding concerns. They suitably protect people's private information and keep the records they need to by law. Team members make records of mistakes and review the pharmacy’s processes and procedures. They learn from mistakes and take the opportunity to improve the safety of services.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
Pharmacy team members mostly have the necessary qualifications and skills for their roles and the services they provide. And they work together well to manage the workload. Pharmacy team members continue to learn to keep their knowledge and skills up to date. And the pharmacy supports new team members to learn during their induction.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy premises supports the safe delivery of its services. And it effectively manages the space for the storage of its medicines. The pharmacy has suitable arrangements for people to have private conversations with the team.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy provides services which are easily accessible. And it manages its services well to help people receive appropriate care. The pharmacy gets its medicines from reputable sources, and it stores them appropriately. The team carries out checks to make sure medicines are in good condition and suitable to supply. And it has arrangements to identify and remove medicines that are no longer fit for purpose.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
The pharmacy has the equipment it needs to provide safe services. And it uses its facilities to suitably protect people’s private information. But it doesn't always keep records of when equipment is due to be checked. And so, the pharmacy cannot be sure all measurements are accurate.
