Clinical Pharmacist Support · Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Nottingham
City practices and former coalfield towns, both covered to one standard. 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, 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.

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 steady, plannable work, which is exactly what a managed service carries well.
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.
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
Older lists in the north of the county drive review volume, and the complex ones are where a dedicated pharmacist earns their place.
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 as they land, straight into the record.
Discharge reconciliationHigh risk drug monitoring
Recalls chased through to completion, reported per site, so every practice can see its own position rather than 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 shows the work is spread differently from how 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, and it works best when the volume is sized per site while the protocol stays shared. That way each practice gets the capacity its own list calls for.
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 well-defined, repeatable work, which makes it one of the easiest things 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.
