Clinical Pharmacists work as part of the surgery team in many different ways depending on the need of the practice. Clinical Pharmacists help GPs to perform annual structured medication reviews to make sure your medicines are safe and effective. This can involve helping patients with long-term conditions, such as asthma, type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The review involves making sure the medicines all work well together and ensuring the relevant health checks, such as blood tests, are performed. You will have a consultation with a Clinical Pharmacist in the same way as you do with your GP or Nurse. A Clinical Pharmacist may be able to prescribe medicines in the same way as your Doctor. If you see or speak to a Clinical Pharmacist, you can still see or speak to a GP if you need to. Other roles can include hospital medication changes, dealing with out of stock issues, supporting care home patients, updating protocols and ensuring prescribing guidelines are implemented.
