Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom The Birches Medical Centre Full time

Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled Clinical Pharmacist to join our team at The Birches Medical Centre. The successful candidate will work closely with our clinical teams to provide exceptional patient care and promote safe and effective medication use.

Main Responsibilities

  • Provide comprehensive support for the practice to manage patients with long-term conditions, medication requests, and acute issues.
  • Manage related QOF indicators, including long-term condition medications, and implement protocols and clinical guidelines at practice and local levels.
  • Identify opportunities for clinical reviews at individual practice, PCN, or CCG levels, working within the remit of qualifications.
  • Educate patients on their medications, including dosage, potential interactions, and side effects.
  • Enhance awareness of alternative Clinical Services within primary care and develop long-lasting relationships with practices and local NHS organisations to improve patient care.
  • Utilise specialist field knowledge to offer extended support to the practice and patients.

About Us

The Birches Medical Centre is a small but passionate close-knit surgery located in Kesgrave, surrounded by affluent and prosperous areas on the outskirts of Ipswich. We value our staff and patients and strive to provide the highest possible standard of care. Our team is supportive and collaborative, and we offer a well-balanced workload and access to training and development opportunities.

We are connected with the Wolsey PCN, a new collaboration between local GP practices, which offers a significant part of our future GP funding. The PCN may fund your post, and you will be based with our teams.

Our patients are happy to take responsibility for their own health, but we offer on-the-day contact to a wide selection of teams when they need help. The main access for our patients is via Anima, which has improved our access and patient journey.

Job Responsibilities

The Clinical Pharmacist role involves working confidently with and on behalf of the Clinical Teams. The focus is on delivering exceptional patient care, directing experience and knowledge to patients surrounding their medications, and highlighting and implementing management and preventative interventions where applicable.

Daily consultations will consist of (but not limited to)

  • Offering advice to patients related to their medications and medical problems.
  • Monitoring patient prescription use to ensure they don't abuse medication.
  • Recommending the most appropriate administration routes based on patient needs.

Work within governed guidelines to review, prescribe, or stop medications, make changes where applicable, and discuss these directly with patients. Promote and implement reduction in practice spending while maintaining patient safety.

Advance patient care, apply clinical decision-making based on each individual, and deliver collaborative working with both the staff situated at the surgery and external practice teams alike. Full support of both practice and locally executed policies and procedures will be required, providing guidance and direction within the practice where applicable.

Remain up-to-date on all aspects of medicine to follow new developments, updates to medication restrictions, cost-effective prescribing switches, or other important information about prescription medications.
