Pharmacy Team at The Cambridge Practice

Our pharmacy team is here to ensure you receive the best care when it comes to your medications. Our team includes clinical pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and medication clerks who work closely together and alongside our GPs and other healthcare professionals to support your health needs.

Clinical Pharmacists

Our clinical pharmacists are experts in managing complex medication-related queries and conducting thorough reviews for long-term conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and respiratory issues. If you need specialized advice or a review of your medication, you might be offered an appointment with a clinical pharmacist. We offer both in-person and telephone consultations, depending on what suits you best.

Pharmacy Technicians

Pharmacy technicians play a vital role in supporting your care. They are trained through a two-year accredited course, then continue to train and grow their competencies over the course of their careers, working under the guidance of a registered pharmacist. They help manage urgent prescription requests, process discharge summaries, and run clinics focused on managing conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol. They also keep a close eye on medications that need regular monitoring, ensuring your treatment remains safe and effective.

Medication Clerks

Our medication clerks manage prescription requests, ensuring they are properly screened before being sent to your GP for approval. They also handle emails from patients, carers, and other healthcare providers, helping us manage the large volume of requests that come through our busy practice. Their support ensures your prescriptions are handled smoothly and efficiently, while reducing medicine waste.
