PGPA Clinical Pharmacists

Need help with your medicines? A clinical pharmacist can review your medication, answer your questions and help make sure your medicines are safe and right for you, particularly if you take several medicines or have long-term health conditions.

Clinical Pharmacists work in primary care in a patient facing role to clinically assess and treat patients using their expert knowledge of medicines. They will be prescribers, or if not, are working to complete an independent prescribing qualification following completion of an approved 18-training pathway or equivalent. They work with and alongside the general practice team, taking responsibility for patients with chronic diseases and undertaking structured medication reviews to proactively manage people with complex polypharmacy, especially for the elderly, people in care homes and those with multiple comorbidities.
