Job Description

The successful candidate will play an important role within The Manor Surgery, complimenting the work of our two Clinical Pharmacists, as well as the wider multi-disciplinary team. They will help patients get the best from their medicines, use existing protocols to maximise cost-effective preparations, improve repeat prescribing processes (including use of electronic repeat dispensing and online ordering), minimising clinical risk and reducing avoidable wasted medicines. The Pharmacy Technician will visit our local care home settings with support from our Clinical Pharmacist to undertake medicines reconciliation, medication reviews and there will be opportunities to shape the medicines ordering processes to reduce medicines wastage. They will work with the Pharmacists to ensure our hospital discharge letters are reviewed in a timely manner and medicines reconciliation is performed accurately to ensure medicine changes are made when patients are discharged back home into the community.



In addition, we aim for the Pharmacy Technician to have a patient facing role in Practice, with phone call and face to face interactions with patients to assess medicines use and communicate changes to medicines. We are looking for someone with excellent communication skills and a commitment to working as part of a strong and effective clinical team. This is an exciting role for someone looking to develop their clinical and management skills in primary care in a supportive team.
