detailed induction to our PCN and any practices that you work in. This will
help you develop an understanding of how each practice functions, along with

improved accessibility to healthcare for our patients with ASD, vision or
hearing difficulties, or other reasonable adjustment needs. We also have a large Clinical Pharmacist team
who are developing additional skills such as managing heart failure and
hypertension.
We hope that,

- Be developing
into a more skilled and confident clinician
- Feel supported
by the team around you and feel able to support your colleagues too
- Have an
understanding of how different practices work
