Clinical pharmacists work in primary care in a patient facing role to clinically assess and treat patients using their expert knowledge of medicines.
They work with and alongside the general practice team, taking responsibility for patients with chronic diseases and undertaking structured medication reviews to proactively manage people with complex polypharmacy, especially for the elderly, people in care homes and those with multiple comorbidities.
Our Pharmacy technicians complement the work of clinical pharmacists, through utilisation of their technical skillset.
Their deployment within primary care 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 PCN workforce.
