Clinical Pharmacist Support · Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Nottingham
City practices and former mining towns, judged by the same NHS standards. A student-heavy city practice and an ex-coalfield practice have very different patients, and one commissioner measures both the same way. Our clinical pharmacists work remotely inside your own system, sized to the workload you actually have.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Nottingham. We hold no premises in the town and place nobody on site: because cover never depends on who can travel, the work gets picked up to the same standard every week.

Two different workloads under one commissioner
Nottingham’s practices are commissioned by NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB, which covers the city alongside the market towns and former coalfield communities across the county. A handful of practices at the county’s western edge are commissioned by the Derbyshire board instead.
The board’s footprint contains two quite different medicines workloads. The city carries a large student and young adult population with high list turnover, while the former coalfield towns to the north carry older lists with high rates of respiratory and cardiovascular disease. The first generates reconciliation and record chasing; the second generates structured reviews and monitoring. Both are the sort of work that has no fixed deadline and therefore slips.
For a network spanning both, that means the same nominal workstream can behave very differently practice by practice, which is a good argument for scoping the volume per site even when the protocol is shared.
We are not a staffing agency and we do not place people into your building. You get a managed service, with supervision, cover, indemnity and clinical governance held by us.
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
Older lists in the north of the county drive review volume, and the complex reviews are the ones that stay undone longest.
Clinical medication reviewsLong term condition clinics
Respiratory and cardiovascular prevalence runs high across the coalfield towns. Remote clinics reach that list without travel.
Long term conditionsDischarge and clinical letters
City turnover generates constant reconciliation. We action the changes; nothing waits in the workflow for a quiet afternoon.
Discharge reconciliationHigh risk drug monitoring
Recalls chased through to completion, per site, so one practice’s shortfall does not disappear into a network average.

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, and where a network spans city and county practices, volume sized per practice, never averaged.
Weeks 3 to 6
First workstream live to a shared protocol, running at different volumes across the sites in scope.
Weeks 7 to 12
Reporting per site, which usually confirms the pressure is not distributed the way the network expected.
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 network covers both city and county practices. Can one arrangement work for both?
Yes, provided the volume is sized per site rather than averaged across the network. The protocol can be shared; the capacity should not be assumed to be evenly needed.
We have a large student population. What does that change?
Mostly it raises reconciliation and record-chasing work, because patients arrive with histories held elsewhere and leave again. It is unglamorous work with no natural owner, which makes it a good candidate to hand over.
Can a whole PCN commission this together?
Yes. Scoping at network level usually means shared protocols and audits that run once rather than practice by practice.
Who supervises the pharmacist day to day?
We do, including CPD and indemnity. You agree the protocols and the schedule; the clinical governance sits with us.
