Pharmacy, who hadn’t faced an inspection in
nearly eight years. For her, the Health Check
offered more than compliance – it restored calm.
“Kieran quickly put us at ease,” Sarah said. “It
was interactive, engaging, and made the whole
team feel part of it.”
The simple red-amber-green
report system helped her prioritise
improvements and tackle critical
actions before the busy season.
By December 2024, the service had
gained a new reputation – not as
a formality, but as a stress reliever.
Chris Holmes of Medicentre Chemists,
Jesmond summed it up perfectly:
“The Health Check felt like an actual
inspection, but with a relaxed and
supportive feel. It took the stress out
of the process and gave us the tools to
make real improvements.”
By April 2025, that reputation had
only grown stronger. Bridget, a
Numark member and superintendent
pharmacist and her team took
advantage of the service to put her
pharmacy through its paces and she
couldn’t recommend it more highly.
One of the biggest takeaways for
Bridget was the clarity of the feedback
and the action plan.
It felt like we were getting help
rather than being evaluated.

communicative, engaging with
pharmacists, staff, and myself. He
quickly pointed out areas of non-
compliance and helped us find the
paperwork and resources we needed.”

out of
inspections.
Expanding horizons –
Northern Ireland joins
the journey
January 2025 saw the service expand
to Northern Ireland, a milestone that
extended Numark’s inspection-ready
ethos even further.
With new challenges facing the
sector and growing pressure around
compliance, the Northern Ireland
rollout couldn’t have come at a
better time.
“Our Health Check is like your
personal guide to staying
inspection-ready,” Kieran explained
at launch. “It gives you peace of mind
that you’re covered.”
Led by an experienced team of GPhC-
registered technicians and NVQ2-
qualified support staff, the Northern
Ireland expansion brought the same
hands-on expertise to a new audience
delivering clear feedback, simple
action plans, and that same trademark
Numark reassurance.
