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. 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 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.

On several long-term conditions Brighton records lower prevalence than the England average, hypertension among them. That does not mean less medicines work. It means the work is weighted towards volume and turnover rather than complex review.
Source: NHS Fingertips, National General Practice Profiles, QOF 2024/25. The comparison is the area median against England, and only statistically significant differences appear here. These are published figures about the area; they say nothing about who our clients are.
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?
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 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?
Usually yes, because the work is volume rather than complexity, and volume is the easier of the two to absorb cleanly.
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.
