Clinical Pharmacy Team
Haringey GP Federation’s Clinical Pharmacy Team supports GP practices to help improve patients’ health and use of medicines.
The team started in 2018 and has grown in response to patient and practice need. It now includes clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working across Haringey’s GP practices as part of the wider healthcare team.
Clinical pharmacists work with patients to:
- Review and explain medicines
- Support people with long-term conditions
- Monitor medicines that need extra care
- Improve medicine safety
Patients may be offered an appointment with a clinical pharmacist to talk about their medicines and how these support their health.
