Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
Overall, the pharmacy adequately identifies and manages the risks associated with its services to help provide them safely. The pharmacy largely protects people’s personal information. It records any mistakes that happen during the dispensing process. And it keeps the records it needs to keep by law, to show that its medicines are supplied safely and legally.

Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met

Standards met
