Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy team members follow written processes to help deliver services safely. The pharmacy keeps the records that it is required to by law. Team members record mistakes to learn from them but do not review these so may be missing some learning opportunities. They keep people’s private information safe and know how to help protect vulnerable people.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
The pharmacy has enough team members either qualified or undertaking appropriate training to provide its services. The pharmacy gives them time during the working day to do this training. But it does not provide any on-going training or development which means team members may find it difficult to keep up to date with the skills and knowledge they need. Team members can make decisions relevant to their role.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The premises are safe and mostly clean. They are suitable for the pharmacy’s services. The pharmacy is secure when closed.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy helps people to access its services, including having telephone consultations with people. It provides its services safely. The pharmacy obtains medicines from reliable sources and stores them appropriately.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
The pharmacy has the equipment it needs to deliver its services. And it looks after it to ensure it works.
