Job summary

Job Summery

Clinical Pharmacy in General Practice is an innovative programme aimed at transforming care delivery to achieve person-centred, coordinated services across Practices. Aligned with national policy, including the Five Year Forward View and GP Forward View, this model enhances the role of pharmacy in primary care. It focuses on proactive patient support to promote safety, reduce hospital admissions, and alleviate pressures on general practice, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare delivery within the community.

Pharmacy technicians are vital members of the PCN multidisciplinary team, working under supervision to support the safe, effective, and efficient use of medicines. Unlike clinical pharmacists, they do not prescribe or make clinical decisions but play a key role in improving prescribing practices and patient care. The role involves supporting medication switches in line with approved protocols, enhancing repeat prescribing systems, promoting online ordering and repeat dispensing, and reducing medicine waste. The post holder will also encourage a better understanding of medicines optimisation among practice teams, support NICE guideline implementation, and contribute to national medicines optimisation initiatives and PCN targets.

They assist with structured medication reviews, shared care protocols, and audits. Technicians engage in patient consultations, resolve prescribing queries, maintain team communication, and support medicines-related projects, acting as a key point of contact under pharmacist supervision.

Technical and Administrative

Pharmacy technicians maintain accurate medication records and support pharmacists in analysing prescribing trends per NICE and local guidance. They aid medicines optimisation, reduce waste, promote EPS and eRD, and train staff in safe medicine handling. The role involves attending local meetings, supporting reception teams, and fostering collaboration across care settings. Technicians also help implement national prescribing policies and contribute to QIPP, QOF, and CQC compliance through policy development and review.

Job responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

To be part of the West Norwich Primary Care Network (PCN), working as a key member within the GP practice teams, contributing to prescribing of the highest quality, safety and value and supporting medicines optimisation.

Reporting to a Clinical Pharmacist, the post holder will provide support to the GPs, Pharmacists, Dispensers, other clinical staff and reception teams to co-ordinate discharge summaries, medication reviews and ensure the safe prescribing of medication. The post holder will support the development of a safe, cost effective, efficient practice repeat prescribing system through reviewing, improving and implementing medicines management processes.

Your core role in the GP practices will cover responsibilities in clinical, and technical and administrative areas.

Clinical:

• Undertaking patient facing and patient supporting roles to ensure effective medicines use, through shared decision-making conversations with patients.
• Carrying out medicines optimisation tasks including effective medicine administration (e.g. checking inhaler technique), supporting medication reviews and medicines reconciliation. Where required, utilise consultation skills to work in partnership with patients to ensure they use their medicines effectively.
• As determined by the PCN practices, supporting medication reviews and medicines reconciliation for new care home patients and synchronising medicines for patient transfers between care settings, linking with local community pharmacists, and referring to the pharmacist for structured medication reviews.
• Providing specialist expertise, where competent, to address both the public health and social care needs of patients, including lifestyle advice, service information, and help in tackling local health inequalities.
• Taking a central role in the clinical aspects of shared care protocols and liaising with specialist pharmacists for more complex patients.
• Supporting initiatives for antimicrobial stewardship to reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing.
• Support the Clinical Pharmacist in SMRs i.e. organise necessary monitoring test prior to SMR
• Manage shared care protocols and liaise with Clinical Pharmacists for more complex patients

Technical and Administrative:

• Working with the GP practice multi-disciplinary team to ensure efficient medicines optimisation, including implementing efficient ordering and return processes and reducing wastage.
• Providing training and support on the legal, safe and secure handling of medicines, including the implementation of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) and electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD)
• Developing relationships with other pharmacy technicians, pharmacists and members of the multi-disciplinary team to support integration of the pharmacy team across health and social care including primary care, community pharmacy, secondary care and mental health.
• Supervising practice reception teams in sorting and streaming general prescription requests, so as to allow GPs and clinical pharmacists to review the more clinically complex requests.

The role will also require pharmacy technicians to support the implementation of national prescribing policies and guidance within GP practices, care homes and other primary care settings. This will be achieved through undertaking clinical audits (e.g. use of antibiotics), supporting quality improvement measures and contributing to the Quality and Outcomes Framework and enhanced services. In addition, pharmacy technicians will assist in the delivery of medicines optimisation incentive schemes (e.g. medicines switches) and patient safety audits.

Training requirements

Pharmacy technicians are registered healthcare professionals, who have been undertaking clinical and technical roles in hospitals, community and primary care. Their initial 2-year training is mandated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), which specifies criteria to register as a pharmacy technician and this covers the education, training and experience requirements.

The role may require travel between GP practice sites within the PCN area.
