Job summary

The Enhanced Access Clinical Pharmacist provides safe, evidence-based and patient-centred clinical care within a multidisciplinary primary care service.

The role provides episodic care rather than continuity of care, assessing and managing patients based on their presenting need. This includes medication reviews, medicines-related queries, acute conditions and prescribing where appropriate. The post holder will ensure accurate documentation, safety-netting and clear handover to the patient's registered practice where ongoing care is required.

Independent Prescribing qualification is desirable.

Main duties of the job

Episodic care rather than continuity of care the pharmacist manages the patient's presenting clinical need during the Enhanced Access consultation.

Safe prescribing prescribing decisions must be based on sufficient clinical information and remain within the pharmacist's competence and the scope of the service.

Clear ownership where ongoing monitoring, treatment or review is required, responsibility must be clearly transferred to the patient's registered practice or appropriate clinician.

Effective clinical handover every consultation requiring further action must leave an accurate and actionable clinical record.

Safety-netting patients must understand what to do if their condition does not improve, deteriorates or new symptoms develop.

Appropriate escalation pharmacists must recognise when a patient requires GP, specialist, urgent or emergency care.

No inappropriate creation of continuity the pharmacist should not inadvertently become responsible for ongoing management of a patient where this sits outside the Enhanced Access service model.

Patient-centred care despite the episodic nature of the service, every patient should receive a safe, respectful and clinically appropriate consultation.

Prescribing in accordance with the NWL prescribing formulary and NICE guidance.

Undertake structured clinical medication reviews, particularly for patients with complex polypharmacy, frailty, high-risk medicines or multiple long-term conditions, with a proactive focus on appropriate deprescribing and reduction of dependence-forming medicines, including controlled drugs and benzodiazepines, in partnership with patients and in line with clinical guidance. Support safe and efficient repeat prescribing, medicines reconciliation and discharge medication processes. Prescribe, initiate, stop or titrate medicines within scope of competence and in accordance with local and national guidance where appropriately qualified.

Support medicines optimisation, prescribing safety, quality improvement, QOF and relevant enhanced service work. Work flexibly across clinical priorities according to day-to-day practice workload.
