Clinical Pharmacist Support · Warrington, Cheshire
Clinical Pharmacist Support for GP Practices in Warrington
Between two city regions, and answerable to two boards. That suits us. Warrington sits between Merseyside and Greater Manchester, and its practices are commissioned by both boards depending on where they sit. Our clinical pharmacists work remotely inside your own clinical system, to the requirements your own commissioner is measuring.
The service is available to every practice and PCN in Warrington, 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 Warrington.

A town between two city regions
Warrington’s practices are commissioned mainly by NHS Cheshire and Merseyside ICB, with practices towards the eastern edge answering to Greater Manchester instead. Few towns of this size sit across a boundary quite so evenly.
The town grew rapidly as a new town and has kept growing, so its lists mix long-established communities with large newer estates. That combination produces both steady registration and reconciliation work and a solid base of long-term condition reviews.
Holding two sets of local requirements alongside one delivery standard is routine for a managed service and awkward for a single hire. For a network here, that is often the practical argument for commissioning the work rather than recruiting for it.
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.

These published figures provide context for medicines services. They describe registered practice populations, not all residents of Warrington.
QOF 2024/25; indicator 258; 26 practices with data3.25% practice median England: 4.64%; difference: -1.39 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.

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 neighbouring practice answers to a different board. Can one arrangement cover both?
Yes. The protocol is shared and the requirements are held per practice, so neither commissioner’s priorities get assumed away.
What if our practice is not in a PCN arrangement?
We work with individual practices as well as networks. The service and the scoping conversation are the same.
Who supervises the pharmacists?
We do, along with CPD, indemnity and clinical governance for everyone delivering the work.
How much does it cost?
Your quote is built from the workstreams you hand over and the size of the list behind them, after a short conversation with no obligation.
