Job description

Job responsibilities

We are currently recruiting for a qualified Clinical Pharmacist to work at St Johns Surgery.

The role will be an integral part of the day-to-day Surgery functioning with opportunities for patient facing roles to clinically assess and treat patients using their expert knowledge of medicines alongside scope for specialist clinics and prescribing.

The responsibilities will include conducting Structured Medications Review and Medicines Optimisation to tackle polypharmacy, audit and review of medicines through NHS-led programmes such as Low Priority Prescribing and ICS/PCN driven cost saving switching.

For an appropriate candidate, there will be potential scope for professional development in evolving skills in independent prescribing. This will include being responsible for long term chronic conditions including asthma/COPD, diabetes, cardiovascular medicine and community based anticoagulant monitoring and finally managing structured mediation reviews and medication management in the two Nursing Homes we provide medical care for. This will take the format of both telephone and face to face consulting
