Pharmacy context
This busy pharmacy is located on a main road. Most people who use the pharmacy are from the local area and it offers a home delivery service. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, and it sells a range of over-the-counter medicines. It supplies a large number of medicines in multi-compartment compliance aid packs to help people take their medicines at the right time.
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy generally manages risks to make sure its services are safe. Members of the team record things that go wrong so that they can learn from them. But they can't show whether they always take action to prevent errors being repeated. So some learning opportunities may be missed. The pharmacy generally keeps the records that are needed by law. And the team understands how to manage confidential information. And knows how to protect vulnerable people.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
Pharmacy team members work well together in a busy environment, and they have the right training and qualifications for the jobs they do. They are comfortable providing feedback to their manager and they receive informal feedback about their own performance. But ongoing training does not happen regularly, so the team’s knowledge may not always be fully up to date.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy provides a suitable environment for people to receive healthcare services. It has a private consultation room so people can have confidential conversations.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy offers a range of healthcare services which are generally well managed and easy for people to access. It gets its medicines from licensed suppliers, and it carries out some checks to ensure medicines are in good condition and suitable to supply.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
Members of the pharmacy team have the equipment and facilities they need for the services they provide. They maintain the equipment so that it is safe, and they use it in a way that protects privacy.
