Remote Prescribing Pharmacist
About this role
This role combines core Remote Prescribing Pharmacist responsibilities with dedicated delivery of the North West London Cardio-Renal Metabolic (CRM) Enhanced Service, giving the postholder a varied caseload split between general remote consultations/repeat prescribing governance and structured long-term condition care planning for patients with, or at risk of, cardiovascular, renal and metabolic conditions. The role suits a pharmacist who wants breadth across day-to-day digital primary care pharmacy work as well as depth in a specific long-term condition programme.

The postholder is line managed day-to-day by the Workforce Lead Pharmacist, covering performance, conduct, wellbeing and workforce development. In addition, the postholder receives clinical input, training and quality oversight from the Medicines Management Lead Pharmacist and the Prescribing Lead Pharmacist across both the general prescribing and CRM elements of the role.
