The Pharmacy Team

Clinical Pharmacists under take clinical medication reviews to proactively manage people with complex medication use, especially for the elderly, people in care homes and those with multiple conditions.

Pharmacy Technicians complement the work of the clinical pharmacists by using their pharmaceutical knowledge in tasks such as audits, discharge management, prescription issuing and where appropriate, informing patients and other members of the Primary Care Network (PCN) workforce. Work is often under the direction of clinical pharmacists as part of the PCN pharmacy team.
