Clinical Pharmacist Support · Norwich, Norfolk
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Norwich
A city practice and a coastal one, covered on the same schedule. Norfolk pairs a compact city with some of the most rural and coastal patient populations in England. Our clinical pharmacists work remotely inside your own clinical system, so distance never decides which practice gets the medicines work done.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Norwich, 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.

One city, and a county that stretches to the coast
Norwich’s practices are commissioned by NHS Norfolk and Suffolk ICB, which covers the city together with the Broads, the north Norfolk coast, Great Yarmouth and the Suffolk towns to the south.
Blood pressure registers here run larger than the England average, and the coastal and market town lists carry notably older populations. Both point at the same body of work: annual reviews, titration, monitoring recall and the long-term condition clinics behind them.
Getting that work done consistently across a county this size is where a remote service earns its place. The same protocol reaches a city practice and a village surgery on the same day of the week, with no travel to fund and no site that gets visited least.
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.

Many practices in Norwich carry blood pressure registers larger than the England average. That produces a large monitoring and titration workload, and more blood pressure recall than average.
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.
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 and protocols agreed, sized per site where a network spans city and coast. Access follows.
Weeks 3 to 6
First workstream live across every practice in scope at once, with no site-by-site rollout.
Weeks 7 to 12
Reporting per site and in aggregate, which is often the first like-for-like view a rural network has had.
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.
Is a remote service harder for a rural practice?
It is usually easier. A dispersed patient population is no harder for us to cover than a city one, and there is no travel time to fund or lose.
Can you review care home and housebound patients?
Yes. Those reviews are among the most valuable to hand over, because they take the longest and are the easiest to defer when a practice is busy.
Can a whole network commission this together?
Yes, and it usually means shared protocols and audits that run once for every practice in the network.
How much does it cost?
We quote after a short scoping conversation, tailored to the workstreams and the list size behind them. There is no obligation attached.
