We have a large Pharmacy team helping to support you and the medication you use. We have two roles in the team Pharmacists and Pharmacy technicians
Clinical Pharmacists
Our clinical pharmacists work in General Practice in a patient facing role to clinically assess and treat patients using their expert knowledge of medicines. They will be prescribers, or if not, are working to complete an independent prescribing qualification following completion of an approved 18-training pathway or equivalent. They work with and alongside your General Practice team, taking responsibility for patients with chronic diseases and undertaking medication reviews to proactively manage people with complex polypharmacy, especially for the elderly, people in care homes and those with multiple comorbidities.
Pharmacy technicians
Our pharmacy technicians complement the work of clinical pharmacists, through utilisation of their technical knowledge and skills. Their deployment within General Practice settings allows the application of their acquired pharmaceutical knowledge in tasks such as medicines reconciliation, audits, prescription management support, and where appropriate, advising patients and other members of the Primary Care Network workforce.
