Clinical Pharmacist Support · Doncaster, South Yorkshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Doncaster
Three raised registers in one borough, and a team that works all three. Doncaster records blood pressure, diabetes and respiratory disease all above the England average. Our clinical pharmacists take that combined workload on remotely, inside your own clinical system, to a schedule you agree.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Doncaster, 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 Doncaster.

Three registers pulling in the same direction
Doncaster’s practices are commissioned by NHS South Yorkshire ICB alongside Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley, with a handful at the northern and eastern edges answering to the Humber and North Yorkshire board.
What marks the borough out clinically is that three registers run above the England average at once: blood pressure, diabetes and respiratory disease. Where one raised register adds a workstream, three overlap in the same patients, which is what makes structured reviews here longer and more valuable.
The borough is also unusually spread out for its size, from the town centre to former pit villages and the flat land east towards the Isle of Axholme. A service delivered inside the clinical system covers all of it on the same terms.
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.

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.

Reporting on what was completed and what moved clinically, before a second workstream is added.
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?
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 patients often have several conditions at once. Can you handle that complexity?
That is the work we prefer to take. Reviews where three or four conditions interact are the longest to do properly, which is exactly why they benefit from a pharmacist whose diary is set aside for them.
Some of our practices report to a different board. Does that complicate things?
No. We work to the requirements each practice’s own commissioner is measuring, and scope that explicitly where a network spans two.
Can this be funded through ARRS?
Often, yes. ARRS funding can cover a commissioned service as well as directly employed roles. We map the fit against the current rules and your PCN’s allocation as part of scoping.
How quickly can you start?
Typically a few weeks, most of which is agreeing scope and protocols.
