Pharmacy Service

Our Pharmacy Service consists of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and an administrative support assistant who work alongside your GP and wider healthcare team to help you manage your long-term conditions and get the best possible benefit from your medicines.

The team provides expert advice and support to ensure medicines are used safely, effectively, and appropriately. This may include reviewing existing medicines, recommending treatment changes to your GP, monitoring your health and treatment, and helping you understand and manage your medication.

How We Can Help

The pharmacy team offers:

Routine medication reviews.
Structured Medication Reviews for patients who may be experiencing difficulties with their medicines or who take multiple medications.
Advice and support for long-term conditions.
Blood pressure and cholesterol management.
Assessment of medication safety, effectiveness, and monitoring requirements.

During consultations, the pharmacy team will discuss any concerns you may have about your medicines and work with you to develop a personalised management plan. Where needed, they will liaise with your GP or other healthcare professionals to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.

Supporting the Practice Team

In addition to working directly with patients, the pharmacy team provides medicines information and clinical advice to GPs, nurses and other practice staff, helping to ensure safe and effective prescribing across the practice.

Accessing the Service

The service currently consists of six pharmacists and five pharmacy technicians.

Patients may be referred by their GP or another member of the practice team, or they may contact the service directly if they have concerns about their medicines, blood pressure, or cholesterol.
