Working collaboratively within the multidisciplinary team, adhering to agreed roles, responsibilities, and management guidelines, including those relating to Non-Prescribing Medics (NPM)
What we'll look for in you
You will be a GPhC-registered Prescribing Pharmacist with strong clinical judgement and experience in medicines management, including repeat prescribing and post-discharge medication changes. You'll be confident providing telephone-based pharmaceutical advice and prescribing in line with Practice Plus Group policies and local and national guidelines.
You'll take a patient-centred approach, offering clear self-care advice and knowing when to signpost patients appropriately.

Prior to joining Practice Plus Group I spent almost 10 years working in community, but I have found that the prison environment is where I feel I can utilise my skills and truly make a difference. I see patients with complex health issues, I help keep them informed about their medication and support out-patients in managing their conditions day to day.
