Background
This is a genuinely new Clinical Pharmacist post, created because the practice has decided that medicines management deserves a dedicated, directly employed pharmacist rather than relying solely on shared PCN resource. You will work alongside the existing PCN pharmacy team, taking a natural degree of ownership over how prescribing and medicines optimisation run day to day, with real scope to help design minor illness clinics from scratch rather than stepping into a fixed structure.

CQC rated Good across all five domains
Your Role

Newly created, practice owned Clinical Pharmacist role, working as an independent prescriber across medication reviews, reconciliation and repeat prescribing
