Clinical Pharmacist Support · Northampton, Northamptonshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Northampton
Lists that keep growing, and capacity that can grow with them. Northampton has been one of the fastest-growing towns in the Midlands, and its practices have absorbed the registrations that came with it. Our clinical pharmacists take the medicines work that growth generates, remotely, inside your own clinical system.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Northampton, 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.

What sustained growth does to the medicines week
Northampton’s practices are commissioned by NHS Northamptonshire ICB, which covers the town along with Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and the county’s market towns.
Sustained housing development around the town has added registrations year after year. New patients bring records to reconcile, repeat templates to set up correctly and reviews that fall due soon after they arrive, so growth shows up in the medicines work before it shows anywhere else.
That is a good argument for capacity that can be sized up as the list does. We scope against the workload you have now and adjust as it changes, which is a different proposition from carrying a fixed number of clinical hours.
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.

Indicative, and shaped by what you hand over. Nothing here needs a change to how your practice already works.
Weeks 1 to 2
Scope agreed against your current list size and the rate it is growing. Protocols and access follow.
Weeks 3 to 6
First workstream live to a fixed schedule, usually repeats or new patient reconciliation.
Weeks 7 to 12
Reporting on throughput, with scope adjusted if the list has moved again.
Excellent service from start to finish. Easy to reach, quick to reply, and they clearly know NHS workflows inside out. We couldn’t recommend the team more highly.
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.
Our list is growing fast. Can the arrangement keep up?
Yes. Scope is agreed against the workload and revisited as it changes, so you are not locked into a fixed block of hours that a growing list outgrows.
Can we commission this at federation level rather than per practice?
Yes. We work with individual practices, networks and federations. What changes is the scope and the reporting, not the service.
Can this be funded through ARRS?
Often, yes. ARRS funding covers roles brought in through a service contract as well as directly employed staff. We map the fit with you before you commit.
How much does it cost?
We quote after a short scoping conversation, built around the workstreams and list size behind them, with no obligation attached.
