Clinical Pharmacist

Due to the recent expansion of our site at Spofforth, The Leeds Road Practice has an exciting opportunity to expand our pharmacy team. We are looking for an enthusiastic clinical pharmacist to join our established team of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians., The role of the clinical pharmacist in primary care is changing rapidly. The provision of a prescription is the single most common outcome from a consultation. Medicine monitoring and medicines safety has risen exponentially over recent years and combined with the complexity of those living with multiple long term conditions and frailty means clinical pharmacy is a core part of general practice.

Primary care needs to be ambitious to pro-actively help patients stay safe, well and out of hospital as well as ensuring that general practice remains resilient in their ability to provide the increasing range of services.

The Leeds Road Practice has now been established for 50 years supporting the care of our patients across South Harrogate and the surrounding villages. We support a population of over 15,000 patients and provide care across 3 sites Leeds Road, Spofforth and Pannal. The new role would join our existing team of practice and PCN based pharmacists and technicians as well as our multidisciplinary team of GPs, ACPs (nurse and paramedic), Nurses, HCAs, PAs and phlebotomists. We support three local care homes through our PCN based care home team and provide a dispensing service to our patients living in our rural locality. We are a training practice supporting registrars, medical students and trainee pharmacists.
