Clinical Pharmacists help to ensure the quality of our prescribing. They review medication changes following hospital discharge, resolve complex medication problems and help with the annual reviews we carry out for all patients on repeat medication. Some clinical pharmacists are licensed to prescribe and may be involved in the management of long term health problems.
Our Clinical Pharmacist is Kirsty Conder, supported by Pharmacy Technician Helen Searle
