4. www.england.nhs.uk Clinical Pharmacists in General Practice Background Build on innovation Primary Care Workforce Commission “There should be greater involvement of clinical pharmacists, including prescribing pharmacists, in the management of people with long-term medical conditions and people in care homes… best carried out in the GP practice…” Expected to improve access to care and ease workload pressures BackgroundPilotFundingProcess

5. www.england.nhs.uk Case study: Rachel Hall, The Old School Surgery, Bristol BackgroundPilotFundingProcess Clinical pharmacist and partner Old School Surgery in Bristol, a busy and growing inner city practice with more than 15,000 patients 82% type 2 diabetes patients had reduced glucose levels within a year of their first consultation Focus on patients with long-term conditions Sees 35 patients and carries out 10-20 phone consultations in 3 days a week, significantly reducing GP workload. “It’s rare you will get people querying why they have to see the pharmacist nowadays. Patients know they can see their GP, one of the nurses or a pharmacist - they know they will be directed to the right clinician to meet their needs.” “It’s my vision that we should have a pharmacist in every GP practice. I’m excited that is now a very real possibility.”

6. www.england.nhs.uk Dr Carol Buckley, GP, The Old School Surgery, Bristol “ Pharmacists are highly trained and skilled professionals with a lot to offer patients as part of the primary health care team… [Rachel] increases access and choice for patients for the management of their chronic diseases. She also improves the medicines management systems at the surgery, taking repeat prescribing decisions away from the busy doctors, freeing them for more clinical work with patients.”

7. www.england.nhs.uk Case study: Karen Acott, Wallingbrook Health Group BackgroundPilotFundingProcess Full partner and prescribing pharmacist Handles all aspects of medication management Since 2004, her work has reduced the need for patient GP appointments by 20 to 30% Focus on patients whose conditions and medication are well controlled and stable; aims to improve self-management “The value a clinical pharmacist can bring is that they know the medication inside out... We are very conscious of all the benefits and side effects of different drugs and can create a bespoke treatment regime and a personalised plan to ensure better patient experience.” “No GP would set up a practice without a nurse or a practice manager. In my view the same should now apply for a pharmacist. It’s about bringing these skill sets together to deliver safe and high quality care.”
