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 located next to a supermarket, on a small shopping complex near to the centre of a busy market town. The pharmacy sells a range of over-the-counter medicines and dispenses NHS and private prescriptions. It supplies weekly compliance aid packs for people to use in their own homes and provides a limited medication delivery service to people who are housebound. The pharmacy provides other services including Medicine Use Reviews (MURs), as well as blood pressure testing and weight management. Substance misuse treatment and a needle exchange service are also both available.
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
Overall the pharmacy manages risks appropriately. It keeps the records it needs to by law and ensures that it keeps people’s information private. Pharmacy team members follow written procedures to ensure that they complete tasks safely. They record and review their mistakes to reduce risks in the future. And they receive training so that they know how to protect vulnerable people.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
Pharmacy team members work well together and support one another to make professional decisions. They are comfortable in raising concerns and providing feedback and complete ongoing training to keep their knowledge and skills up to date.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy provides a secure and professional environment for healthcare services. But limited space impacts on organisation in some areas.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy generally manages services safely and makes them available to people with different needs. But pharmacy team members may not always make enough checks with some higher risk medicines. This increases the risk that they may make supplies after the prescription has expired, and so they may no longer be appropriate. The pharmacy obtains medicines from reputable sources and carries out some checks to show that medicines are suitable for supply.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
The pharmacy has the equipment it needs to deliver services safely.
