Job summary
The Esplanade Surgery are seeking a motivated and experienced Clinical Pharmacist to join our General Practice team. Whilst we are looking to appoint a Clinical Pharmacist on a full time basis, we would consider part-time hours for the right candidate.
The Clinical Pharmacist will play a pivotal role in supporting the management of patients with chronic diseases, optimising medicines, improving patient outcomes, and contributing to the overall health and well-being of the community. Please note this is not a remote role.
Main duties of the job
The role of the clinical pharmacist in primary care is changing rapidly. The provision of a prescription is the single most common outcome from a consultation. Medicine monitoring and medicines safety has risen exponentially over recent years and combined with the complexity of those living with multiple long term conditions and frailty means clinical pharmacy is a core part of general practice.
Primary care needs to be ambitious to pro-actively help patients stay safe, well and out of hospital as well as ensuring that general practice remains resilient in their ability to provide the increasing range of services.
About us
The Esplanade Practice has now been established for over 60 years supporting the care of our patients across Ryde and the surrounding area. We support a population of c. 9000 patients from our Surgery on the Ryde seafront. The successful candidate will join our existing multidisciplinary team of GPs, ANPs, Paramedics Nurses and HCAs. We are a training practice supporting registrars, medical students, trainee pharmacists and paramedics.
