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 pharmacy situated in a small shopping centre, in the Shortlees Estate, near Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. It provides the usual services under the Scottish Pharmacy First Plus scheme. These include the minor ailments service and provision of treatments using health board Patient Group Directions (PGDs). The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions and medicines into multi-compartment compliance packs for some people to help them take their medicines safely. And the pharmacy also supports people on supervised medicines. This pharmacy was inspected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy adequately identifies and manages the risks to its provided services. It effectively protects the privacy and confidentiality of people’s private information. And the pharmacy team members are aware of how to help protect vulnerable people. They record the errors they make whilst dispensing and learn from these. They regularly analyse these errors to further improve their learning and to take action to prevent a repeat. However many of the solutions lack a deeper root cause analysis. They generally keep the records they need to by law.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
The pharmacy has enough suitably qualified and trained team members to safely provide the services it offers. However it would appear to be over dependent on team members undertaking extra duties. The pharmacy team members feel comfortable raising concerns if they need to. And they complete regular ongoing training. The pharmacy supports team members in their ongoing development by providing some time during the working day for training.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy premises are adequate for the services provided. The pharmacy has suitable facilities for people to have private conversations with the pharmacist. And it appropriately protects the premises from unauthorised entry. But the premises look tired and the lack of bench space impacts on dispensing.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy uses a range of safe working techniques to deliver its services. The pharmacy has sufficient materials to help support people taking higher-risk medicines. And it makes its services easily accessible for people. The pharmacy generally stores medicines suitably labelled and packaged. And the team members regularly check expiry dates of medicines to make sure they can supply them safely.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
The pharmacy has sufficient equipment for the services it offers. And it keeps such equipment well maintained to provide accurate measurement.

Plans agreed with the pharmacy to address areas where standards were not met.
