Clinical Pharmacist

Michael Leung

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.
