Clinical Pharmacist Support · Leeds, West Yorkshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Leeds
Inner-city, market town and rural practices, all inside one city boundary. The Leeds boundary stretches from inner city practices to Wharfedale villages. Our clinical pharmacists work remotely inside your own system, sized to each site instead of the average, so every practice in a network gets the capacity its own list calls for.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Leeds, 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 Leeds.

One authority, three kinds of list
Leeds practices are commissioned by NHS West Yorkshire ICB, which covers Leeds alongside Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. The responsible commissioner and local priorities should be confirmed for each practice when agreeing the service scope.
Leeds is unusual in how much it contains. Within one local authority there are dense inner-city practices with high deprivation and high turnover, established suburban practices, and genuinely rural ones out towards Wetherby and the Wharfedale villages. Sizing the work per site, with one shared protocol above it, is what keeps all three well served.
The city also holds one of the largest student populations in the country, concentrated in a handful of practices. Those lists behave differently from everything around them, with sharp seasonal turnover and a lot of records arriving from elsewhere, and scope can be weighted towards the months when that work actually lands.
What you buy is a managed service: supervision, cover 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.
Structured medication reviews
Structured reviews sized per practice, because an inner-city practice and a Wharfedale practice do not generate the same volume.
Clinical medication reviewsDischarge and clinical letters
Reconciliation of hospital changes, worked as it arrives, which matters most in the practices where turnover is highest.
Discharge reconciliationRepeat prescribing
Repeat authorisation and acute triage worked to your protocols, with capacity that absorbs the seasonal spikes.
Repeat prescriptionsLong term condition clinics
Remote long-term condition clinics that reach rural sites as reliably as the ones in the middle of the city.

These published figures provide context for medicines services. They describe registered practice populations, not all residents of Leeds.
QOF 2024/25; indicator 258; 71 practices with data3.52% practice median England: 4.64%; difference: -1.12 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 per site where a network spans different kinds of list. Protocols and system access follow.
Weeks 3 to 6
First workstream live across every practice in scope simultaneously, at volumes that differ by site.
Weeks 7 to 12
Reporting per practice and in aggregate, which is usually the first like-for-like view a mixed network has had.
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 network mixes urban and rural practices. Does that work?
It works well when the capacity is sized per site and the protocol is shared. That is the arrangement we use for mixed networks, and it is why one agreement can cover very different practices.
We are a student practice with heavy seasonal turnover. Can you flex with that?
Yes. Scope can be weighted to the parts of the year where the reconciliation and registration work actually lands, instead of being spread evenly across twelve months.
Do you work with SystmOne as well as EMIS?
Yes, and with Vision and Medicus. West Yorkshire practices use a mix of these systems, and it makes no difference to how the service runs.
How much does it cost?
We build your quote around the workstreams and list size behind them, so it reflects what you are actually commissioning. A short scoping conversation gets you a clear figure, with no obligation attached.
