Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy mostly identifies and manages the risks associated with its services, including reducing the infection risk during the pandemic. The pharmacy team members follow some written processes for the pharmacy’s services to help ensure they provide them safely. The pharmacy mostly keeps the records that it needs to by law, and it keeps people’s private information safe. Team members know who to contact if they have concerns about vulnerable people. Team members discuss mistakes to learn from them, but do not record and review them, so cannot identify trends. This means team members may be missing learning opportunities.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
The pharmacy has enough qualified and experienced team members to safely provide its services. They make decisions within their competence to provide safe services to people. And they know how to make suggestions and raise concerns if they have any to keep the pharmacy safe. But the pharmacy does not routinely set aside time for team members to continue their learning so they may find it difficult to keep their knowledge up to date.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy premises are clean and suitable for the pharmacy services provided. The pharmacy has suitable facilities for people to have conversations with team members in private. The pharmacy is secure when closed.

Standards met
The pharmacy helps people to access its services which it provides safely. Pharmacy team members follow written processes relevant to the services they provide.
