Our aim as a company is to provide the highest standards of pharmaceutical service in the localities we serve. We endeavour to make our services available to all patients. We are continually reviewing and improving our premises to ensure accessibility to all patients. We provide free home delivery services to all patients that are unable to access the pharmacy. Our pharmacists and staff are fully trained in accordance with their roles and adhere to clear standard operating procedures. These procedures are designed to ensure the quality and safety of the services we provide. The General Pharmaceutical Council, the Local Health Boards and members of the Community Health Council routinely inspect our pharmacies. As a part of our commitment to the NHS Pharmacy Contract we carry out a practice-based audit on a service and make improvements where necessary. We participate in multi-disciplinary audits as required by the Local Health Boards. We carry out an annual Patient Satisfaction Survey, results and outcomes of the surveys are held at our head office.
