Job responsibilities

The Experienced Primary Care Pharmacy Technician will work as an integral member of the PCN pharmacy and wider multidisciplinary teams, under appropriate clinical supervision. The post holder will use their established technical knowledge, consultation skills and primary care experience to improve the safe, effective and cost-conscious use of medicines across GP practices, care homes and other community settings.

The role is predominantly patient-facing and operational. It includes medicines reconciliation, repeat-prescribing support, high-risk medicine monitoring, patient safety searches, audit and quality improvement, medicines waste reduction, and practical support to help patients use their medicines effectively. The post holder will manage an agreed caseload and work programme with a high degree of day-to-day autonomy, while recognising professional limits and escalating clinical decisions appropriately.

Work within GPhC standards, organisational policies, agreed standard operating procedures and the limits of individual competence.

Work under appropriate clinical supervision to support the safe, effective and efficient use of medicines.

Undertake only those patient-facing and medicines-optimisation activities for which competence has been demonstrated and documented.

Refer prescribing decisions, diagnosis, clinical assessment, complex medication review and other matters outside scope to a clinical pharmacist, GP or other appropriate clinician.

Provide day-to-day peer support and may coordinate delegated workstreams, but the role carries no formal line-management responsibility unless this is separately agreed and documented.

Maintain accurate, timely and contemporaneous records in the relevant clinical system, including actions taken, advice provided and referrals or escalations made.

Hold structured, person-centred conversations with patients, carers and families to support effective and safe medicines use, shared decision-making and adherence.

Provide practical medicines support within competence, including inhaler technique, medicines administration, compliance aids, ordering arrangements and signposting to relevant services.

Identify medicines-related problems, side effects, adherence concerns, safeguarding issues or deterioration, and escalate promptly using agreed clinical pathways.

Support patients to understand changes to medicines following discharge, outpatient appointments or other transitions of care.

Provide relevant public health and lifestyle advice within competence, with particular attention to access needs and health inequalities.

Undertake medicines reconciliation from discharge summaries, clinic letters and other reliable sources in line with local protocols, resolving discrepancies or referring them to an appropriate clinician.

Support reconciliation and medicines synchronisation for new care home residents and patients moving between care settings.

Liaise with community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, care homes, specialist services and patients to obtain information and ensure continuity of supply.

Prioritise urgent or high-risk discrepancies and maintain a clear audit trail of interventions and outcomes.

Support safe, efficient repeat-prescribing workflows, including triage of routine requests, alignment of medicines and referral of clinically complex queries.

Undertake agreed searches and monitoring processes for high-risk medicines, shared-care medicines and patients requiring follow-up, escalating overdue or abnormal results appropriately.

Support the implementation and consistent use of the Electronic Prescription Service and other digital medicines systems.

Help practices improve ordering, return and disposal processes and reduce avoidable medicines waste.

Support implementation of local and national prescribing guidance, formulary decisions and medicines-optimisation initiatives.

Take delegated ownership of defined medicines-optimisation workstreams and contribute to improving systems across practices, reporting progress, risks and recommendations to the Lead Pharmacy Technician.

Contribute to appropriate switching programmes, recalls and medication safety work only within agreed protocols and with suitable clinical oversight.

Undertake patient safety searches, clinical audits and data collection, for example relating to antimicrobial stewardship, high-risk medicines, monitoring, polypharmacy or prescribing indicators.

Support delivery of medicines-optimisation incentive schemes, Quality and Outcomes Framework activity, enhanced services and local PCN priorities.

Identify and report medication incidents, near misses, risks and system weaknesses; contribute to investigation, learning and improvement actions.

Use prescribing and service data to identify variation, monitor outcomes and recommend practical improvements to the Lead Pharmacy Technician and clinical team.

Contribute to the development, review and implementation of standard operating procedures and safe systems of work.

Work closely with clinical pharmacists, GPs, nurses, pharmacy technicians, practice teams and other PCN professionals to co-ordinate care and manage workload safely.

Develop effective links across primary care, community pharmacy, secondary care, mental health, social care, care homes and voluntary services.

Participate in relevant practice, PCN and multidisciplinary meetings and communicate clearly about actions, risks and outcomes.

Support integration of the pharmacy team across organisations and contribute to a consistent, equitable service for patients across PCN practices.

Provide day-to-day advice, coaching and training to practice staff within own area of competence; support induction or peer development of less experienced colleagues when requested.

Maintain GPhC registration, continuing professional development and a portfolio of competence relevant to primary care practice.

Participate in clinical supervision, appraisal, objective setting and an agreed personal development plan.

Complete mandatory and statutory training and undertake further development required for enhanced or locally commissioned services.

Keep up to date with medicines legislation, professional guidance, evidence, local formularies and relevant NHS policy.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check

As part of our commitment to safeguarding patients and staff, many roles at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This is a standard process across the NHS and helps us ensure a safe environment for everyone.

What is a DBS Check?

A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. The level of check required depends on the role:

Standard DBS: Checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings.

Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police thats considered relevant to the role.

Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the childrens and/or adults barred lists.

The Costs for a DBS

At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy. This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment. If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred.
