Job Description:

Clinical Pharmacist | Battersea, South West London 

Background 

This is a genuinely new Clinical Pharmacist post, created because the practice has decided that medicines management deserves a dedicated, directly employed pharmacist rather than relying solely on shared PCN resource. You will work alongside the existing PCN pharmacy team, taking a natural degree of ownership over how prescribing and medicines optimisation run day to day, with real scope to help design minor illness clinics from scratch rather than stepping into a fixed structure. 

Location 

The practice is based in Battersea, Southwest London, with strong transport links across the capital. Clapham Junction and Battersea Park stations both sit close by, putting Waterloo around 10 minutes away and Victoria around 15 minutes away by train.

• Strong partnership team and large salaried GP team, supported by three duty doctors and a triage doctor on site every day 

• Mid-sized practice serving a broad and varied local population 

• CQC rated Good across all five domains 

Your Role 

• Potential for a compressed four day working week, which could include one contracted work from home day per week once probation is complete 

• Newly created, practice owned Clinical Pharmacist role, working as an independent prescriber across medication reviews, reconciliation and repeat prescribing 

• Genuine scope to help shape minor illness clinics and wider medicines optimisation services from the ground up 

• A natural degree of oversight of the practice's wider PCN provided pharmacy team, without this being a formal line management role 

• Clinical supervision from an experienced GP Partner medicines lead, with daily duty doctor support on hand 

Salary and Benefits 

• NHS Pension scheme 

• Professional fees covered 

• Protected CPD and appraisal time
