Clinical Pharmacists

PCN Clinical Pharmacists work as a part of the healthcare team to help improve value and outcomes from medicines.

Clinical Pharmacists can help with prescribing, medication reviews, queries about medications, telephone reviews, managing patients long term condition, ensuring patients get the most out of their medication, dealing with side effects.

Having a clinical pharmacist help means GP’s can focus to manage the demands on their time.

The role of clinical pharmacists are different to the community pharmacist. And the main difference is the clinical pharmacist does not give a patient their medication. This need to be collected from a community pharmacy in the usual way.

Patient Coordinators

The role of the patient coordinator is to act as a central point of contact for the patients, to review patients’ needs and help them access the services and support they may require and to support the patients to develop personalised care and support plans.
