Clinical Pharmacist Support · Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Huddersfield
Town centre lists and Pennine village lists, both covered properly. Kirklees stretches from Huddersfield town centre up into the Pennine villages, and its practices differ accordingly. Our clinical pharmacists work remotely inside your own clinical system, sized to each list and delivered to one standard.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Huddersfield, delivered remotely by our UK team inside your own clinical system. Cover never depends on who can travel, so the work is picked up to the same standard every week. We hold no premises in the town.

One district, two quite different kinds of practice
Huddersfield’s practices are commissioned by NHS West Yorkshire ICB, which covers Kirklees alongside Leeds, Bradford, Calderdale and Wakefield. Kirklees itself is planned as a place within that board, so local priorities are set closer to home than the board’s size suggests.
The district holds two quite different kinds of list. Town centre practices carry dense, diverse populations with significant deprivation, while the Holme and Colne valley practices serve smaller, older and more dispersed communities up towards the moors. The first tends to generate volume, the second complexity.
A single arrangement covers both when the protocol is shared and the capacity is sized per site. That is how we scope network work, and it is the reason a mixed district does not need two separate providers to be served properly.
What you buy is a managed service: supervision, cover, indemnity and clinical governance are all held by us. That is the practical difference between this and recruiting for the work yourself, and it is why the workstream keeps running whoever is available in a given week.
What we take off your team
Each of these is a service in its own right. Take one, or take several together.
Structured medication reviews
Structured reviews sized per practice, because a valley list and a town centre list do not generate the same volume.
Clinical medication reviewsHigh risk drug monitoring
High risk drug recall and chasing carried through to completion at every site in scope.
High risk drug monitoringLong term condition clinics
Remote hypertension, diabetes, asthma and COPD clinics that reach the valley practices as often as the town ones.
Long term conditionsCQC and quality searches
Searches run and findings actioned to one standard across a network, whatever each practice has on that month.

Indicative, and shaped by what you hand over. Nothing here needs a change to how your practice already works.

First workstream live everywhere in scope at once, at volumes that differ by practice.
Weeks 7 to 12
Reporting per site and in aggregate, which usually gives a mixed network its first comparable view.
Fast email replies and clinical input whenever we need it. They picked up our medicines work seamlessly and delivered from day one.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have pharmacists based in this area?
No, and we do not claim to. Our pharmacists work remotely from across the UK, inside your clinical system. Nothing about the service depends on anyone being nearby, which is exactly why cover stays consistent: it never turns on who can travel on a given day.
We are a small practice serving villages. Will we get a fair share of the capacity?
Yes, because capacity is sized to the workload your list generates and reported per site. Nothing about the service depends on how close a practice is to anything.
Our network mixes very different practices. Does that work?
It works well when the protocol is shared and the volume is sized per site. That is the arrangement we recommend for a district like this one.
Do you work with SystmOne as well as EMIS?
Yes, and with Vision and Medicus. A network here does not need to standardise its software before it can standardise its medicines work.
Who supervises the pharmacists?
We do, including CPD, indemnity and clinical governance. You agree the protocols and the schedule.
