Pharmacist

What is a clinical pharmacist

These are clinically trained members of our team who are very similar to the local pharmacist you get your medicines from regularly. They have undertaken additional training and qualifications to allow them to help you in treating chronic illnesses or disease you may have, reviewing the medicines you use and making sure the blood tests you need for your medicines are done.

Social Prescriber

Social prescribing is a way of linking patients in primary care with sources of support within the community. It provides GPs with a non-medical referral option that can operate alongside existing treatments to improve health and wellbeing.
