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
The pharmacy is on a residential estate in the market town of Boston, Lincolnshire. Its main services include dispensing NHS prescriptions and selling over-the-counter medicines. It provides the NHS New Medicine Service (NMS), NHS blood pressure check service and NHS Pharmacy First service. It also offers a private weight management service. The pharmacy supplies some medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs, designed to help people remember to take their medicines. And it offers a medicine delivery service. This was a reinspection following an inspection in July 2024, where the pharmacy did not meet Standards 1.2, 1.6 and 4.3. This reinspection focused mainly on those Standards which had previously not been met. The pharmacy has improved against all these standards. Since the last inspection, its team members have been regularly recording the mistakes they make when dispensing medicines to support them in monitoring risk. They keep medicines in a neat and tidy manner on the dispensary shelves which supports them in working safely. The pharmacy conducts regular stock checks of its medicines to ensure they remain safe to supply to people. And it appropriately monitors the environment in which medicines are stored. The pharmacy is keeping its records in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. And its team continue to make good efforts to keep the small premises clean and free from unnecessary clutter.
