Pharmacy Team
We have a large Pharmacy team within our Primary Care Network whose skills and expertise in all medication related issues adds quality and safety to the prescribing across our area. They perform many tasks including structured medication reviews for patients in care homes and those on multiple medications to ensure prescribing is safe and appropriate, initiation of medications recommended by both primary and secondary care clinicians and also assisting in reducing medications as clinically required.
A number of our team work together in a central unit providing services to all five GP practices from a central point. In addition other members of the team work with particular practices and join forces with pharmacist within the practices. We are also developing much closer links with our colleagues in Community Pharmacies.
The Pharmacy team may contact you by telephone or recommend a clinic appointment to meet with them to discuss your medications further and perform some clinical tests.
