A typical day (when all pharmacists are in) will be structured as follows: 1st half - Two hours blocked for dealing with repeat prescription requests (where the admin team have been unable to issue the prescriptions due to alerts or because the medication is out of date/authorisations). The rest of the session involves routine appointments (e.g. pre-booked medication reviews) or reviewing blood test results (subject to training blood tests ordered by the pharmacists e.g. for DOAC/DMARD monitoring or diabetes reviews) 2nd half Routine appointments e.g. for pre-booked medication reviews. Depending on experience and skill set, sessions may be allocated solely for chronic disease reviews e.g. diabetes. One pharmacist is allocated an entire session to work off the triage list (subject to training) actioning quick wins or urgent tasks and allocating routine appointments where necessary (e.g. for routine medication reviews which cannot be done from remote review of notes) One session a week blocked for contracts related work. Admin sessions also provided to work on audits. If trained in minor illness pharmacists may be allocated sessions to work on the acute list seeing or calling patients with acute illnesses seeking same day medical attention.
