Primary Care Network Clinical Pharmacist

Primary Care Network Clinical Pharmacist

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, committed, and motivated senior pharmacist to join our established

Primary Care Clinical Pharmacy Team (PCCPT) in Dudley Place.

Having been established for over 20 years we are committed to developing pharmacy services to meet the needs of our practices and patients.

The post holder will work as part of a multi‑disciplinary team providing medicines optimisation support activities, delivering a comprehensive workplan which includes the PCN DES, Black Country ICB work streams and PCN initiatives. The post holder will contribute to safer patient care through provision of clinical audits, review and monitoring patients based on clinical need. The post holder will act as an advisory resource to practices in relation to medicines optimisation, drug information, admissions avoidance and repeat prescribing.

Prior experience of working in General Practice or a similar clinical role would be ideal.

An initial induction will be offered working alongside clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians within the team. We have a strong emphasis on team working, supporting each other to professionally develop and meet our objective of improving the health and wellbeing of our population.

If you have a passion for providing patient centred healthcare and are committed to developing as a senior clinical pharmacist we would like to hear from you!

The duties and responsibilities are intended to be indicative but not exhaustive of the responsibilities of the post holder. PCCPT will develop flexible work programmes to meet the needs of our practices and population, as such the requirements of the job may develop and change.

The post offers candidates the opportunity to become involved in a wide range of patient facing activities such as chronic disease management, structured medication reviews, medicines reconciliation, safer prescribing initiatives as well as our work to support population health interventions to address health inequalities.

You will be required to undertake clinical structured medication reviews with patients taking high risk drugs (within scope of professional practice) and review for ongoing need and appropriate monitoring, making recommendations to senior staff/GP as appropriate. Arrange suitable follow up appointment(s) to monitor the effect of any changes implemented.

Although we support flexible working opportunities our primary care clinical pharmacist roles are predominately practice based to ensure we are working closely with our multidisciplinary teams.

You should have excellent written and verbal communication skills as well as experience of influencing others and conducting clinical medication reviews.

We are looking for exceptional individuals with the drive and enthusiasm to change how healthcare is delivered and make a real difference to the people we serve.

With over 20 years of experience we are a well‑established innovative team that is committed to the development of clinical pharmacy services in primary care working in collaborative with our local partners.

We provide support and development opportunities for our team and pride ourselves in allowing colleagues to flourish in their careers supporting their personal development whilst ensuring we make a positive contribution to improving the health of our population.

We are embedding values based and inclusive recruitment practices to ensure that all applicants, from any backgrounds, have an equal chance of success in achieving a role with us.

Anyone that works with us will share in our commitments and promote and uphold them throughout their daily activities.

As a team we will consider requests for flexible working where possible and dependent on the service needs. For most roles, the following types of flexibility are possible: flexible hours, compressed hours and more.
