Clinical Pharmacist Support · Brighton, East Sussex
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Brighton
High list turnover is a workstream in its own right, and we run it. Brighton and Hove has one of the most mobile populations in the South East, which puts registrations and reconciliation at the centre of the medicines week. Our clinical pharmacists take that work on remotely, inside your own clinical system.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Brighton, delivered remotely by our UK team inside your own clinical system. We manage cover and delivery to the scope, operating days and escalation arrangements agreed with your practice. We hold no premises in Brighton.

A city that changes its list every year
Brighton’s practices are commissioned by NHS Surrey and Sussex ICB, which covers the city alongside the Sussex coast, the Downs and the Surrey towns to the north.
Several long-term condition registers here sit below the England average, which reflects a younger, highly mobile city with two universities and a large private rented sector. The medicines work that follows is registration, reconciliation and repeat volume, arriving in waves rather than steadily.
That pattern suits a service that can be weighted to the months when the work actually lands, and it removes a task that has no natural owner inside a practice. The coastal towns nearby carry older lists and a different balance again, which is why we size per practice.
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.

These published figures provide context for medicines services. They describe registered practice populations, not all residents of Brighton.
QOF 2024/25; indicator 219; 25 practices with data10.73% practice median England: 15.23%; difference: -4.50 percentage points
QOF 2024/25; indicator 241; 25 practices with data5.46% practice median England: 7.89%; difference: -2.43 percentage points
Source: OHID Fingertips, National General Practice Profiles, using NHS England QOF data. Practices are grouped by postal town extracted from the NHSBSA Prescriber Details address register and matched by ODS practice code. Each local figure is the unweighted median of the available practice percentages; for an even number of practices, the two middle values are averaged. The England figure is the published national prevalence value. Eligible age groups, periods and sample sizes are shown for each measure. The comparison is descriptive: it is not population-wide town prevalence, and no town-level statistical significance has been established. These practices are not a list of our clients.
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.
Weeks 1 to 2
Scope agreed, weighted to your busiest registration months if that suits you. Protocols and access follow.
Weeks 3 to 6
First workstream live, usually reconciliation or repeats.
Weeks 7 to 12
Reporting on throughput and what it released, before anything more is handed over.
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?
Our pharmacists deliver the agreed service remotely from within the UK, working in your clinical system. The service does not require a clinician to be based locally.
Our registrations spike sharply at certain times of year. Can you flex with that?
Yes. Scope can be weighted towards the months when the work lands instead of spread evenly across twelve.
Our list is younger than average. Is there enough to hand over?
Registrations, medicines reconciliation and repeat requests can require clinical time at any age. We assess the workload with your practice, including complex needs, before agreeing the service scope.
Can a whole PCN commission this together?
Yes, and it usually means one protocol, one audit and one set of reporting for every practice in scope.
How much does it cost?
We quote after a short scoping conversation, based on the workstreams and the list behind them, with no obligation.
