The Vale Medical Practice is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated clinical pharmacist to join our friendly and supportive GP team, across our two sites: Wootton Vale Surgery and Shortstown Surgery. The role is offered on a full-time basis, with flexible working considered.

You will play a key role in medicines optimisation, long‑term condition management, and improving prescribing quality, while working closely with GPs, nurses, trainees, and the wider multidisciplinary team. This is an excellent opportunity for a pharmacist who is passionate about patient care, enjoys clinical variety, and is keen to contribute to service development, teaching, and innovation within primary care.

• Support medication reconciliation following hospital discharge
• Provide expert medicines advice to clinicians and patients
• Contribute to long‑term condition management within your scope of competence
• Support repeat prescribing processes, medication queries, and prescribing safety checks
• Promote evidence‑based prescribing and contribute to audit and quality improvement work
• Implement local and national prescribing priorities (e.g. ICB initiatives, QOF, IIF)
• Review high‑risk medicines and support appropriate monitoring
• Deliver patient‑facing clinics (e.g. hypertension reviews, inhaler technique, medicines counselling), depending on experience
• Work collaboratively within the MDT, including supporting trainees and junior colleagues
• Opportunity to be involved in practice‑based projects, including research and innovation initiatives
