Looking for More Than Just a Prescribing Role?

Are you a highly skilled pharmacist who wants to make a genuine difference to patients' lives?

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Manage your own clinical workload.
• Develop expertise in long-term condition management.
• Undertake meaningful Structured Medication Reviews.
• Build ongoing relationships with patients.
• Influence prescribing quality and medicines optimisation.
• Shape new initiatives and pursue your own clinical interests.

Most importantly, you'll have the time and support to provide thoughtful, patient-centred care.

• We area friendly, supportive and sociable practice that genuinely enjoys working together. Along side regular clinical supervision and educational meetings, we also have:
• A practice running club.
• Regular team socials and nights out.
• Quarterly whole-practice meetings bringing everyone together.
• A culture where colleagues support one another and celebrate successes.

We work hard, but we also believe in creating an environment where people enjoy coming to work.
