Job description
Are you a Pharmacist who is interested in working in a clinical, patient-facing role in a GP practice?
If so, The Medicines Management Team has an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and committed Pharmacist to join a friendly, well-established GP practice team.
As an integral part of the team, you will use and share your pharmacy expertise to support the Practice in effective medicines management and optimal patient care.
Working within a multi-disciplinary team you will work alongside the dispensary and admin teams, the doctors and nursing staff in the practice.
You will be mentored by the GPs to facilitate your learning and development. You will be supported by a network of Pharmacists, led by Clinical Pharmacists with a wealth of primary care experience to support your development.
We are keen to hear from pharmacists of all backgrounds and level of experience and although an Independent Prescribing qualification is desirable it is not essential.
A DBS Check is essential for the job.
Main duties of the job
As Clinical Pharmacist you will work as part of the practice multi-disciplinary team in a patient-facing role, working with colleagues to help resolve medication-related issues, improve patient outcomes and ensure better access to healthcare.
You will support practice staff with prescription and medication queries and help support the repeat prescription system. You will deal with acute prescription requests and medicines reconciliation, providing expertise in clinical medicines advice while addressing the health and social care needs of patients.
You may take responsibility for areas of chronic disease management and undertake clinical medication reviews to proactively manage patients with complex polypharmacy. You will undertake reviews of patients with specific long-term conditions that fall within your competency.
You will confidently work alongside and support a team of PCN pharmacists and technicians across the PCN practices, acting within professional boundaries. You will deliver medicines optimisation initiatives to ensure safe and cost-effective use of medicines, including work to deliver key outcomes against a CCG scheme. You will contribute to quality improvement and clinical audit and support aspects of the QOF, medicines safety and antibiotic stewardship.
The role is pivotal to improving quality of care and operational efficiencies so requires motivation and passion to deliver excellent service within general practice.
