existing practice and network clinical pharmacists as the role develops to meet
the NHS enhanced service requirements.
The
successful candidate should be enthusiastic and adaptable to change, with
excellent clinical skills and a good level of competence in the use of IT. Good
organisational skills and the ability to communicate effectively with a wide
range of healthcare professionals and other stakeholders including patients,
families and carers is an advantage.
About us
We are a large semi-rural dispensing practice, with 2 sites, serving our local community of approximately 17000 patient.
Rated as good by the CQC, we consider our surgery
to be dynamic, forward thinking practice. Advancing in times of change we operate a total triage system led by GP's.
Working with the PCN, we provide care aligned to
both national and local enhanced services, achieving high results for both QOF

We are looking for a clinical pharmacist to join

patient care and be a key member of staff, undertaking both clinical and
educational duties if needed.
