Clinical pharmacists are experts in medicines and how they are used. We are very fortunate to have clinical pharmacists in our team as they can help our doctors and nurses to spend more time with patients while they deal with the majority of medicine-related queries.
Our clinical pharmacists deal with repeat prescriptions, reviews, common minor ailments, urgent medication requests and deal with medication for patients recently discharged from hospital.
Our GPs may ask the clinical pharmacist to get in touch with you if you take lots of medications from time to time. This is to review your symptoms and check they’re still the best medications to be on. Where better, newer alternatives are available, they’ll discuss this with you and your GP.
