We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.
Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:
- 72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.
- 76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.
- 81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust's priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.
This high-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement. However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.

Job summary
Are you a pharmacist who is passionate about developing your knowledge and skills in general practice, while making a meaningful difference to patient care?
Our PCN continues to support its Arc Primary Care pharmacy team with additional roles and resources, during this period of developing and restructuring we are looking for clinical pharmacists to join the growing pharmacy team, to work alongside our existing workforce of senior clinical pharmacists, clinical pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
The posts available are at:
The Brimington Surgery, previous Winners of the Primary Care Practice Team of the year, based on Church Street in Brimington, a busy village on the outskirts of Chesterfield
Inspire Health, whose in house pharmacy team, including two experienced advanced pharmacists, support a broad range of dynamic and enhanced roles for pharmacy professionals, based in Avenue House Surgery in central Chesterfield and the Hasland Medical Centre.
We are looking for clinicians who are committed to improving patient care and passionate about clinical pharmacy.
Whilst experience of working in general practice and an independent prescriber qualification are preferable, pharmacists with limited general practice experience, including newly qualified pharmacists, would be considered.
The post holders would be supported in enrolling on, and completing, the CPPE Primary Care Pharmacy Education Pathway (PCPEP), where not already completed.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work within their clinical competencies as part of a multidisciplinary team to deliver high quality clinical medicines management.

The post holder will also support the management of repeat prescription authorisations and reauthorisations, as well as acute prescription requests, ensuring prescribing remains safe, effective, and aligned with best practice.
In undertaking this role, the post holder will address both the public health and wider social care needs of patients registered at GP practices within the Primary Care Network (PCN). They will work collaboratively with the wider practice and PCN teams to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare inequalities.
The post holder will receive clinical supervision, mentorship, and professional support from senior and lead clinical pharmacists, who will support the development, governance, and oversight of their role.
This role is central to improving the quality of care, patient experience, and operational efficiency within general practice and therefore requires a high level of motivation, professionalism, and commitment to service improvement.
About us
The Chesterfield and Dronfield Primary Care Network (PCN) is one of the largest in the UK, delivering care to more than 100,000 patients across Chesterfield and Dronfield, on the doorstep of the Peak District.
We deliver enhanced services within the PCN designed to support and enhance the services offered by our member GP Practices within Chesterfield. We do this by employing staff to work through the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme and finding innovative and sustainable solutions to the changing needs of the Practices; we bid for contracts to help tackle health inequalities and drive up standards of care within the Chesterfield and Dronfield locality.
Our mission: Committed to high quality collaborative person-centred care. Delivered with integrity and transparency, improving health and wellbeing for all.
Benefits of working with us:
- NHS Pension Scheme, offering flexible retirement choices, an ill health retirement pension, life assurance and optional lump sum on retirement

- Up 5 days professional/study leave per annum (pro rata)
- Access to Employee Assistance Programme

Job description
Job responsibilities
1. Patient-facing / Remote Medicines Support
Deliver patient-facing medication review clinics, stratifying need across the full spectrum of review types from technical, medicines adherence reviews (including polypharmacy reviews) through to focal long-term condition reviews (see section 3) and holistic SMRs. Provide accessible support for patients with questions, queries, and concerns about their medicines.
2. Medicines-Related Clinical Support for Care Homes
Deliver clinical medication reviews in collaboration with patients, care home staff, and the Ageing Well team, producing clear and evidencebased recommendations for the multidisciplinary team to support medicines optimisation, prescribing, and monitoring. Work collaboratively with care home staff and the Ageing Well team to optimise medicines management and promote safe, effective, and appropriate use of medicines, including updating medication at transfer of care and investigating and responding to requests for medication not on, or as on, repeat. This workstream is coordinated by the PCN's Pharmacy Hub for Assessment Services (PHASe), integrated within The Ageing Well Team, but practice-based pharmacists will need to liaise with the hub, communicating effectively, to ensure an efficienct and seamless care delivery service.
3. Long-Term Condition Clinics
Deliver reviews to patients with single or multiple medical problems where medicine optimisation is required (e.g., respiratory, cardiovascular-reno-metabolic). Review the on-going need for each medicine, monitoring needs and support patients in getting the best use of their medicines (i.e. medicines optimisation). Make appropriate recommendations to Senior Pharmacists or GPs for medicine improvement. Contribute to QOF achievement and IIF targets related to long-term condition management.
4. Patient facing Domiciliary Medication Reviews
Deliver medication reviews to patients in care home or domiciliary settings, working within the PCN's Pharmacy Hub for Assessment Services (PHASe), integrated within The Ageing Well Team. For care home patients, medicines reconciliation and medication review is coordinated through the centralised pharmacy hub. The post holder will work within this hub structure, contributing to and drawing on hub-led clinical oversight, supervision, and workflow support, and producing recommendations for the multidisciplinary team on prescribing, deprescribing, and monitoring. In some practices, medication reviews for care home patients may be delivered outside of the central hub, and some reviews for care home or housebound patients may require home visits.
5. Risk stratification
Identify cohorts of patients at increased risk of harm from medicines using agreed, preprepared practice clinical system searches, including prescribing and clinical decision support software such as Eclipse Live Radar 500 searches. Risks may be patientrelated, medicinerelated, or a combination of both.
Where appropriate, pharmacy technicians will be accountable for reviewing and acting on the outcomes of these searches within their scope of competence, in accordance with agreed protocols. Clinical pharmacists will provide supervision and support where the management of highrisk patients falls outside the pharmacy technicians competence, and will assume responsibility during periods of leave or in exceptional circumstances.
6. Unplanned hospital admissions
Review the use of medicines most commonly associated with unplanned hospital admissions and readmissions through audit and individual patient reviews. Implement changes to reduce the prescribing of these medicines to high-risk patient groups.
7. Medicines Reconciliation
Reconcile medicines following communications from other health settings (e.g., hospital discharges, clinical letters from secondary care, private healthcare providers etc) including identifying, resolving and appropriately escalating unexplained changes to medicines when required. Work collaboratively with patients, carers and the wider MDT to ensure timely access to medicines and continuity of care including those requiring medicines compliance aids and care home residents.
Provide mentorship, supervision, and appropriate delegation of medicines reconciliation activities to pharmacy technicians and junior pharmacists, including foundation pharmacists, in line with their competence and agreed governance arrangements.
8. Medicine Information & Advisory Support
Respond to relevant medicine-related enquiries from GPs, other network staff, other healthcare teams (e.g., community pharmacy) and patients with queries about medicines acting as a visible and accessible medicines expert within the PCN. Suggest and recommend evidence-based solutions. Provide appropriate follow-up where changes are made.
9. Signposting
Ensure that patients are referred to the appropriate healthcare professional for the appropriate level of care within an appropriate time period e.g., pathology results, common/minor ailments, acute conditions, long-term condition reviews etc. Collaborate with and refer to relevant non-clinicians e.g. social prescribing link workers to connect patients with non-clinical community support where wider determinants of health are contributing to medicines non-adherence or health inequalities.
10. Repeat prescribing
Manage the repeat prescribing reauthorisation process by reviewing patient requests for repeat prescriptions and reviewing medicines reaching review dates and flagging up those needing a review. Ensure patients have appropriate monitoring tests in place when required. Support the practice to reduce prescribing errors and promote safe, efficient repeat prescribing workflows.
11. Service development
Contribute pharmaceutical expertise to the development and implementation of new services that have medicinal components (e.g., advice on treatment pathways and patient information leaflets).
12. Information management
Analyse, interpret and present medicines data to highlight issues and risks to support decision making.
13. Medicines quality improvement
Undertake clinical audits of prescribing in areas directed by the GPs and the PCN team, feedback the results and implement changes in conjunction with the relevant practice team.
14. Medicines safety
Implement changes to medicines that result from MHRA alerts, product withdrawal and other local and national guidance. Contribute to the practice's and PCNs patient safety agenda by participating in significant event analysis (SEA), reporting incidents as appropriate, supporting learning from near-misses and medicines errors. Work with the practice team and PCN to embed a culture of medicines safety.
15. Implementation of local and national guidelines and formulary recommendations
Monitor practice prescribing against the local health economys RAG list and make recommendations to GPs for medicines that should be prescribed by hospital doctors (red drugs) or subject to shared care (amber drugs).
16. Education, Mentoring and Clinical Supervision
Provide education and training to primary healthcare team on therapeutics and medicines optimisation. Mentor, supervise and delegate, as appropriate, clinical workflow to pharmacy technicians and more junior pharmacists (including foundation pharmacists), to optimise skill-mix and aid team development.
17. Care Quality Commission
Work with the general practice teams to ensure the practices are compliant with CQC standards where medicines are involved.
18. Public health
Support public health campaigns and provide specialist knowledge on all public health programs available to the general public.
19. Collaborative working arrangements
As part of an integrated pharmacy team, foster and maintain collaborative working relationships with practice teams, ICB colleagues including medicines management pharmacy professionals, the Ageing Well
Team and social prescribing team, and all other relevant services across the PCN and other stakeholders as needed for the collective benefit the practice and its patients.

Posted 19 day(s) ago
Reference: 2345367
Job summary
Totus Neurorehabilitation is a growing community neurorehabilitation service providing brain injury rehabilitation and cognitive assessments across the South of England.
Due to an increasing number of referrals in the Midlands we are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Clinical Psychologist/Neuropsychologist to join our team to cover Leicester, Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
We are funded on a case-by-case basis through individual funding packages (eg exceptional healthcare funding, CHC funding). As such the post holder is contracted to individual clients and the working hours will be based on the individual client's requirements with pay based on an hourly rate. This post would best suit a practitioner working part time in the NHS looking for one or two additional cases a week.
As the post covers a large geographical area, we require you to hold a full UK driving licence, have access to a car for business purposes and are able to travel long distances for appointments. Travel time is paid at half the clinical rate. You will also be partly working from home and will need a confidential space to do online sessions and meetings when needed.
This is an Associate position which means the applicant is self-employed and contracted to the client. You will be required to register as a sole trader with the HMRC and submit your own tax return yearly. The applicant requires their own indemnity insurance, DBS certificate, and registration with the ICO.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be part of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team (including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech and Language Therapists) providing evidence-based brain injury rehabilitation in the community, clients homes, or outpatient clinics. You will also be providing cognitive assessments in our clinics.
You will be responsible for managing your own caseload within the team and working across services and systems throughout our clients rehabilitation journeys. You will be able to work collaboratively and creatively with evidence-based approaches, and you will have a keen interest in neuropsychology with a desire to develop excellence in the field.
You will receive support in developing your career with supervision from Neuropsychologists on the Specialist Register of Neuropsychologists. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from experts in the field.
You will have experience in working with clients who have neurological presentations and cognitive deficits, experience of working within complex psychosocial systems, and the confidence to lead a multidisciplinary team through complex case formulation. The post is suitable for experienced clinicians or as a development opportunity for newly qualified Clinical Psychologists with a passion for a career in neuropsychology (hourly rate will reflect experience). An MSc in Applied Neuropsychology or similar would be desirable.
About us
Totus is a complete neurorehabilitation service, bringing together expert clinicians to support people following acquired brain injury, neurological illness or complex physical trauma. Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in neuropsychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, dietetics, and MS support services. We work closely with case managers, solicitors, families and support teams to deliver coordinated, person-centred rehabilitation that maximises each individuals potential. Our values are based in patient-led rehabilitation, with a community focus, funded on transparent communication, evidence based treatment, and sustainability of the rehabilitation model. All aimed to promote the quality of life of our clients and their supporters.
