Job summary
The Clinical Pharmacist
experience at BMC Paston PCN differs from most practice experiences.
At BMC we recognise the scope and potential of Clinical Pharmacists to be able
to see patients for a wide range of health conditions.
The face of Primary
Care is changing, and we will support and mentor our Clinical Pharmacists
through their CPPE Primary Care qualification, independent prescribing, minor
illness and clinical assessment training, to empower you to see patients
face-to-face as an autonomous practitioner (under the support and supervision
of our knowledgeable and experienced GP team).
Our current Clinical
Pharmacists have gone on to undertake specialist practitioner qualifications in
Diabetes and Asthma, they are requesting their own investigations, interpreting
and filing their own results, planning and managing their own caseloads, and
training and developing junior members of the department.
Individual interests
and passions are encouraged to flourish and develop. We have a pathway for
career progression, within a friendly, diverse and supportive team.
If you are looking for
a more practical and hands-on role, we are the surgery for you!
We are expanding our Clinical
Pharmacist team with roles for AfC Band 7 equivalent and
Band 8a equivalent roles (Band 8a equivalent for an Advanced Pharmacist Practitioner with previous
General Practice experience, independent prescribing and further specialist
practitioner qualifications).
Main duties of the job
As detailed above, we are looking to grow and develop our Clinical Pharmacy team, and invite applications from pharmacists at varying points in their careers, whether you are new to Primary Care or an experienced General Practice Clinical Pharmacist.
The role will include direct patient contact with assessment and
advice on newly presenting minor illnesses, long-term conditions and chronic disease management, clinical medication reviews, leadership on medicines optimisation and clinical audit, discharge
medication reviews and supporting patients with complex polypharmacy. The
Clinical Pharmacist will provide expert clinical
medicines advice to both patients and staff within the practice.
The successful candidates will ideally be independent
prescribers or keen to work towards this qualification. Experience of working in a
primary care setting would be advantageous, however full training, development and support will be provided to the successful candidates.
The Clinical Pharmacists will need
to have excellent interpersonal/communication skills and be able to work
independently as well as part of our team.
