The pharmacy also provides medicines to some people in multi-compartment compliance packs to help them take their medicines properly. Pharmacy team members provide other healthcare services including the NHS Pharmacy First Service and NHS Pharmacy First Plus Service. This was a routine inspection of the pharmacy which focused on the core Standards relating to patient safety. Not all the Standards were inspected on this occasion.
