Clinical Pharmacist

As a Clinical Pharmacist, I aim to enhance patient care and safety through various responsibilities.

I conduct structured medication reviews and engage with patients to address medicine adherence issues, ensuring they understand and follow their prescribed regimens. This involves patient education, fostering a deeper understanding of medications, and providing support to overcome adherence challenges.

I specialise in reviewing patients with complex medicine regimens, meticulously assessing drug interactions, side effects, and treatment appropriateness. This attention to detail is crucial in tailoring therapies to individual needs, promoting patient well-being, and minimising medication-related complications.

I serve as the primary point of contact for all medicine-related queries, offering expert advice and guidance to patients and healthcare teams. Additionally, I actively contribute to medicines management and audits, optimising the safe and cost-effective use of medications, thus improving the overall quality of patient care.

I handle medication reconciliation for patients recently discharged from the hospital, ensuring a smooth continuum of care and minimising medication-related risks.

Collaborating closely with practice nurses, I manage and prescribe for long-term conditions, ensuring comprehensive patient care. I proactively audit patients that are high risk of cardiovascular disease and offer medications and lifestyle advice to reduce disease risks.
