Practice Pharmacists

Clinical pharmacists are health professionals who train for many years to become specialists in medicines. ​They can work directly with you as part of the GP team to make sure your medicines help you to get better and stay well. Having a clinical pharmacist in the GP team means you can be treated by the best person to meet your needs.

Pharmacy Technicians

The kinds of roles pharmacy technicians are now undertaking include medicines reconciliation, educating patients about their medicines and running training sessions for nurses. With a wide-ranging knowledge of the various GP and Pharmacy systems, our technicians are able to accurately and efficiently affect our recommended prescribing changes while ensuring patients, local pharmacies and other stakeholders are kept suitably informed.​

Paramedics

There is now growing recognition that the generalist skills of the paramedic could be deployed into more widespread in-hours general practices. This may include running clinics, triaging and managing minor illnesses, and providing continuity for patients with complex health needs. Further roles may include assessment and management of requests for same-day urgent home visits, as well as regular visits to homebound patients with long-term conditions.

Social Prescriber

Enable patients to be referred to a range of local, non-clinical services as we seek to address people’s needs in a holistic way and encourage individuals to take greater control of their own health. Social prescribing is designed to support people with a wide range of social, emotional or practical needs, and many schemes are focussed on improving mental health and physical well-being, such as, volunteering, arts, gardening, befriending, cookery, healthy eating advice and sports.
