Clinical Pharmacist Support · Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Barnsley
One borough, one set of priorities, and the capacity to deliver them. Barnsley plans its primary care tightly as a single borough, and its respiratory and blood pressure registers both run above the England average. Our clinical pharmacists deliver that workload remotely, inside your own clinical system.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Barnsley, 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.

A coalfield legacy still visible in the registers
Barnsley’s practices are commissioned by NHS South Yorkshire ICB, where the borough is one of four places and has a long record of planning and delivering primary care as a single unit.
Respiratory disease, raised blood pressure and diabetes all sit above the England average across the borough, and the industrial history behind that is still legible in the numbers. Inhaler technique, rescue medication, annual respiratory review and blood pressure titration are steady weekly work here rather than occasional tasks.
Because the borough plans together, the priorities are usually already agreed. What a practice or network typically needs is the clinical capacity to work them at the pace the registers demand, which is precisely what we supply.
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.

Most practices in Barnsley carry blood pressure registers larger than the England average. That produces a large monitoring and titration workload, and more blood pressure recall than average.
Figures are the median across GP practices in the area against the England value, from NHS Fingertips (National General Practice Profiles, QOF 2024/25). Only differences flagged as statistically significant are shown. Published NHS data about the area, not a statement about which practices we work with.
What the first three months usually look like
Indicative, and shaped by what you hand over. Nothing here needs a change to how your practice already works.

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.
Can you run COPD and asthma clinics remotely?
Yes. Remote long-term condition clinics cover COPD, asthma, hypertension and diabetes, run to your protocols and recorded in your own system.
Our borough already works closely together. Where does an outside provider fit?
The borough sets the priorities and we add the clinical capacity to deliver them, without a recruitment round in between.
Can this be funded through ARRS?
Usually, yes. ARRS funding can cover a commissioned service as well as directly employed roles. We map the fit against your PCN’s allocation as part of scoping.
What happens when someone is on leave?
Cover sits with us. Your workstream keeps running to the agreed schedule.
