Clinical Pharmacist Support · Lincoln, Lincolnshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Lincoln
One standard of medicines work across every site in your network. A Lincolnshire network can span a city practice and a village surgery twenty miles apart. Our clinical pharmacists work remotely inside your own system, so the same workstream runs to the same standard wherever the patients are.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Lincoln, 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.

Why remote delivery suits Lincolnshire geography
Lincoln’s practices are commissioned by NHS Lincolnshire ICB, and the city’s networks sit within the Lincolnshire Primary Care Network Alliance. IMP covers much of Lincoln and the villages north of the city, while South Lincoln Healthcare and Lincoln Healthcare Partnership cover other parts of the city.
Geography is the defining feature of primary care here, and it is precisely why remote delivery works so well across this county. A network can span a city practice and a village surgery twenty miles apart, and the same workstream reaches both to the same protocol, on the same schedule, with no travel time to fund or lose.
The county also has an older population than the England average, which shows up directly in medicines work as more patients on more long-term medicines and more structured medication reviews per thousand patients. Review capacity is one of the most useful things a network here can commission.
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.
Structured medication reviews
An older population across the county means more reviews per thousand patients, and more of them complex. That volume is the whole reason this service exists.
Clinical medication reviewsLong term condition clinics
Remote hypertension, diabetes, asthma and COPD clinics, which reach patients spread across the county without anybody funding the travel.
Long term conditionsHigh risk drug monitoring
Monitoring recalls run centrally for the whole network, which is what gives a rural network the same consistency an urban one takes for granted.
High risk drug monitoringCQC and quality searches
Searches run and findings actioned across every site in a network, to one standard, whatever each practice has on that week.

Chronic kidney disease runs above the England average across most Lincoln practices. Renal impairment constrains prescribing rather than merely adding to it: more dose adjustment and monitoring, and more medicines that need renal function checked before issue.
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.

Weeks 7 to 12
Reporting by site and in aggregate, so a network can see exactly where its medicines work is concentrated.

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.
Is a remote service harder for a rural practice?
It is usually easier. A patient population spread across villages is no harder for us to cover than a city one, and there is no travel time to fund or lose. In a county the size of Lincolnshire that difference is the whole argument.
Can a whole network commission this together?
Yes. Scoping at network level usually means shared protocols, and audits that run once for every practice in the network.
Do you work with SystmOne as well as EMIS?
Yes, and with Vision and Medicus. Lincolnshire has a strong SystmOne presence and it makes no difference to how the service runs.
How much does it cost?
We quote after a short scoping conversation, tailored to the workstreams you hand over and the size of your list, so the price reflects what you are actually buying rather than a generic rate. There is no obligation attached, and you will get a straight answer on whether the numbers make sense.
