We have a rare opportunity for a Clinical Pharmacist aspiring to work at this outstanding level. The post holder will support all 5 practices, circa 38,000 patients, by providing expertise in clinical medicines management, working as part of Swan Medical Group’s Medicines Management Team.
The Clinical Pharmacist will provide face to face or remote structured medication reviews, review of patients with polypharmacy including those within residential care homes and those with multiple comorbidities. Additionally, the role will require them to manage long term conditions, medicines on transfer of care and systems for safer prescribing, repeat prescription authorisation, and reauthorisation, as well as acute prescription requests. This is in line with the public health and social care needs of patients in the GP practices.
