Our clinical pharmacy team are involved in a number of roles within the practice. They:
- Help to optimise prescribing of medications for long-term conditions, in patients living with frailty and high risk medications
- Manage safety alerts and recalls issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
- Promote and support safe and cost effective prescribing
- Work closely with our care homes and housebound patients to review and optimise prescribing in our most vulnerable patient groups
- Process hospital discharge summaries and other clinical letters from hospitals to ensure appropriate medication changes are made and patients are followed up as required
- Work with our local community pharmacies to improve communication and services, and manage situations where medications are in short supply
