The role involves working with GP Practices as part of a multi-professional team to optimise safe, quality, evidence-based and cost-effective use of medicines.
Pharmacists, and the wider pharmacy team, are embedded as part of the multi-disciplinary team in all practices, to help deliver high quality pharmaceutical care, ensuring patients get the best possible outcomes from their medicines, avoiding harm and waste.
