About us

The Pharmacy team in TEWV has over 100 team members including drivers, pharmacy assistants, administration, nurses, pharmacy technicians and pharmacists. Individual team members are spread across multiple sites, with a dispensary in each of our 3 localities. The locality teams work independently, but come together to agree standards and best practice, learning from each other and trying to improve.

We developed a 5-year Medicines Optimisation and Pharmacy Framework which was created with the teams to produce a shared set of themes and priorities.

The Trust is currently working with staff and partners to deliver the Community Mental Health Transformation programme (CMHTP). This is a five-year programme, driven by the NHS England Long Term Plan, that looks at the needs of local populations and how organisations can move towards a more joined up approach to services to improve the lives of people living with mental health illnesses.

This is an exciting time to be involved in the transformation of how mental health services are delivered in the community and you will be instrumental in providing medicines management and optimisation services for the benefit of service users and the wider local population, as well as supporting our wider partners in primary care.
