inspections.

Take Care When Using Online Primary Care Services:

primary care have found significant concerns about patient safety. Well-run services
can offer a convenient and effective form of treatment, but inspectors found services
that were putting patients at risk of harm by selling medicines without doing enough to
check they were appropriate.

The Care Quality Commission have published some tips of finding safe providers
which you can look at by following this link.
