What Is a Clinical Pharmacist?
A clinical pharmacist is a healthcare professional trained to provide expert advice on medicines, manage complex medication plans, and support patients directly within healthcare settings. The role of a clinical pharmacist goes beyond traditional pharmacy duties, focusing on patient-centred care, medication optimisation, and improving treatment outcomes. As part of the NHS clinical pharmacist role, they work alongside GPs, nurses, and wider healthcare teams to reduce workloads, manage long-term conditions, and enhance patient safety. At Core Prescribing Solutions, our clinical pharmacist services are designed to integrate seamlessly into your practice, PCN or Federation ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and personalised care.
Why Clinical Pharmacists Are Essential in Primary Care
Clinical pharmacists in primary care play a crucial role in supporting the modern NHS, helping to deliver safer, more efficient healthcare at the community level. Through the ARRS clinical pharmacist programme, NHS England has made clinical pharmacists a key part of Primary Care Networks, helping to ease pressure on GPs and improve access to patient care.
The benefits of pharmacy specialists in primary care are clear:
- Medicines optimisation in primary care, ensuring patients receive the most effective, safe treatments.
- Managing complex medication regimes for patients with multiple conditions.
- Supporting GPs by handling medication reviews, repeat prescriptions, and patient consultations.
- Helping with managing long-term conditions and chronic disease management to reduce hospital admissions and improve quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Clinical Pharmacists
What is the role of a clinical pharmacist in healthcare?
Clinical pharmacists work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to optimize patient medication therapy, provide medication management, and improve healthcare outcomes.
Can a clinical pharmacist prescribe medications?
Yes, a clinical pharmacist in the UK can prescribe medications, but they must first obtain an additional qualification known as an Independent Prescribing qualification. This qualification allows pharmacists to assess patients, make a diagnosis, and prescribe medications related to their area of expertise and competence. The training for this qualification includes a course approved by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and supervised clinical practice by a designated medical practitioner or designated prescribing practitioner to ensure the pharmacist has the necessary skills and knowledge to prescribe safely and effectively.
Is a clinical pharmacist a doctor?
No, a clinical pharmacist is not a doctor. They are healthcare professionals with specialised training in pharmacology, focusing on medication management, patient care, and collaborating with doctors, but they do not hold a medical degree.
