Clinical Pharmacist

Clinical Pharmacists are increasingly working as part of general practice team. They are highly qualified experts in medicines and can help people in a range of ways. This includes carrying out structured medication review for patients with ongoing health problems and improving patient safety, outcomes and value through a person-centred approach. NHS England

The clinical pharmacist can support you with:

• Reviewing your medicines
• Medication side effects
• Medicine changes after a stay in the hospital
• Long-term conditions
• Common illness

As with all clinical staff, you may have telephone appointments or see your clinical pharmacist in a private consultation room. Seeing your pharmacist does not replace appointment with other healthcare professionals, it ensure that our healthcare team can provide you with the best professional care to suit your needs.

Practice Nurses

Practice nurses can be seen by appointment.

The nurses offer advice and consultations as appropriate to patients wanting to seek immediate medical attention. They also regularly see and treat patients with minor illnesses.

Conditions such as Asthma, Diabetes and Coronary Heart disease may be monitored by the nurses. They can review medication and discuss any problems or concerns.

Nurses are also available for:

• General Health Advice
• Immunisation and travel advice
• Cervical Smears
• Ear syringing
• Family planning/contraceptive pill checks
• Hormone replacement checks
• Minor injuries
• Smoking cessation advice
