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.

Erewash Health Partnership provides core primary care services and support services across its constituent practices and is the prime provider for services delivered on behalf of Erewash Primary Care Network.
WE Flourish is a PCN-wide, non-emergency health and wellbeing service for adults aged 18 and over. This role has a particular place-based focus on Kirk Hallam and the Sport England Place Partnership, while operating through the wider WE: Flourish Single Point of Access rather than as a separate access route.
Job Summary
The Health and Wellbeing Coach will provide Tier 2 coaching and supported intervention for adults registered with an Erewash PCN practice, with a particular focus on residents of Kirk Hallam. The post holder will use personalised, strengths-based coaching to support health, wellbeing, confidence, motivation and self-management, and help people access appropriate lifestyle and physical activity opportunities.

Actively promote physical activity as part of prevention, early intervention, wellbeing and supported self-management.
Support residents to access realistic, inclusive and meaningful physical activity, movement, lifestyle and wellbeing opportunities.
Work with Sport England Place Partnership partners and community organisations to strengthen physical activity for health pathways in Kirk Hallam.
Identify barriers to participation and explore practical, personalised solutions with residents and partners.
Contribute to accessible, inclusive community-based activities that support confidence, participation, connection and sustained engagement.
Support the planning, coordination and delivery of community wellbeing activities, including Wellbeing Mondays or similar local initiatives.
Provide outreach, group activities, community sessions and signposting, and build trusted relationships with residents, community groups and local organisations.
Co-design and co-produce activities with residents and partners in response to local needs.
Share resident insight, lived experience, feedback and delivery learning to support development of the Sport England Place Partnership and wider place-based approaches.
