  • Support the implementation of national prescribing policies and guidance within GP practices, care homes, and other primary care settings.
  • Reconcile the medications of patients whose care is transferred back to primary care in a timely and effective manner, liaising with patients and other providers to ensure patients receive appropriate medication on discharge.
  • Proactively engage with patients whose care has been transferred to reduce potential readmission, including identifying and rectifying unexplained variation.
  • Work with pharmacy service team to develop safe, effective, and efficient systems for the repeat prescribing of medication at scale across the four GP sites.
  • Work with pharmacy service team to develop and implement systems to ensure the effective and continuous supply of medication to high-risk patients.
  • Work with pharmacy service team to develop and implement systems to ensure safe and effective management of high-risk medication.
  • Work with pharmacy service team to develop and implement changes to medicines in line with MHRA alerts, product withdrawal, and other local or national guidance.
  • Provide feedback and seek advice from pharmacist for patients where the post holder has clinical concerns around competence to safely manage their medications.
  • Manage requests to prescribe medication from specialists in line with Doncaster CCG formulary and locally agreed guidelines.
  • Update patient medication records in line with incoming clinical correspondence.
  • Refer patients to their community pharmacist for support with using their medicines.
  • Provide advice to GPs, staff, and patients in changes to prescribing to support the improvement of prescribing safety, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Respond to medication queries from patients and staff in a professional manner, referring to the appropriate clinician in accordance with protocols and personal and professional boundaries.
  • Provide support to patients to maximise the benefit from their medication.
  • Provide telephone support for patients with medication queries.
  • Provide professional telephone and written advice and support to patients and their carers.
  • Maintain full and complete records of all patient contacts using appropriate clinical templates and coding.
  • Work with the PCN multi-disciplinary team to ensure efficient medicines optimisation, including implementing efficient ordering and return processes, and reducing wastage.
  • Supervise practice reception teams in sorting and streaming general prescription requests, so as to allow GPs and clinical pharmacists to review the more clinically complex requests.
  • Provide leadership for medicines optimisation systems across PCNs, supporting practices with a range of services to get the best value from medicines by encouraging and implementing Electronic Prescriptions, safe repeat prescribing systems, and timely monitoring and management of high-risk medicines.
  • Provide training and support on the legal, safe, and secure handling of medicines, including the implementation of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS).
  • Develop relationships with other pharmacy technicians, pharmacists, and members of the multi-disciplinary team to support integration of the pharmacy team across health and social care, including primary care, community pharmacy, secondary care, and mental health.
Requirements
  • Registered with the GPhC as a Pharmacy Technician.
  • Portfolio of evidence of continuous professional development and post-qualifying experience.
  • Membership with Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
  • Medicines Reconciliation Certificate or equivalent.
Experience
