Clinical Pharmacist
Our clinical pharmacist works together with patients to help them get the best from their medicines. Our pharmacist meets with patients, in the practice or at home, to review current medicines and medical conditions, and provide health advice or suggest changes to your medications. The pharmacist is the medicines expert in our practice and provides education and answers questions about medicines for the rest of our team to keep us up to date! Clinical Pharmacists in General Practice work with the wider healthcare team in the community and in hospital services to ensure your medicines are necessary, safe and effective.
When you meet with our Clinical Pharmacist, they will help you to learn about your medications and why you take them. They can also check you are taking your medications correctly, help to simplify your medications, and answer any questions you might have about your medications or medical conditions.

It is currently the only non-drug treatment recommended by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence. The goal of CST is to guide people with memory loss through a series of themed activities designed to improve cognition and communication through mentally stimulating discussion and activity. This program has shown to delay admission to permanent care and reduce the risk of hospital admission.

This open session provides practical strategies to enhance communication and connection with your loved ones and provide an environment where you can connect with other caregivers who share similar experiences and insights
