St Clements Surgery in Oxford is seeking a permanent Clinical Pharmacist to lead its medicines optimisation strategy. As a frontline clinical leader in this research‑active training practice, you will work within a total triage system that ensures a structured, clinically assessed workload. Your primary focus will include conducting structured medication reviews for complex patients, managing chronic diseases like Diabetes, and overseeing weekly ward rounds for two local care homes.
The role involves high‑level clinical workflow management, such as reconciling hospital discharges and participating in multidisciplinary virtual ward rounds alongside GP mentors. To qualify, you must be a GPhC‑registered Independent Prescriber with at least 12 months of experience in a UK General Practice setting and proficiency in EMIS Web and Docman.
In return, the practice offers a salary of £50,000–£56,000 (40 hour FTE) for a 30‑hour week, full NHS pension enrollment, and dedicated time for professional development. St Clements provides a supportive, learning‑focused environment that actively encourages pharmacists to pursue Advanced Clinical Practitioner status.
As the Clinical Pharmacist at St Clements Surgery, you will serve as a frontline clinical leader responsible for the practice's medicines optimisation and safety strategies. Operating at the top of your license as an independent prescriber, you will manage complex caseloads through the delivery of structured medication reviews, specifically targeting patients with polypharmacy, frailty, and multi‑morbidity.
Your role is central to the clinical workflow, involving the management of high‑level prescribing transitions and the reconciliation of medication following hospital discharges. You will take a proactive lead in chronic disease management and oversee pharmaceutical care for residents in local care homes through dedicated weekly ward rounds. As a core member of a research‑active training practice, you will work within a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating in virtual ward rounds and clinical meetings to drive evidence‑based improvements in patient care. This position offers the opportunity to provide high‑quality, focused clinical interventions within a structured, triage‑led workflow.
St Clements Surgery is a forward‑thinking training practice in vibrant East Oxford, where a diverse patient list provides a rich and varied clinical landscape. Our team is defined by a culture of collaboration and clinical curiosity; as a key NIHR research site, we don t just follow guidelines, we help create the evidence base for them. We pride ourselves on being a tech‑forward and "Veteran Friendly" practice, committed to providing tailored care to every corner of our community.
The atmosphere here is supportive and learning‑centric. We move away from "first‑come, first‑served" pressure through our Total Triage system, ensuring our clinicians have the space to perform focused, high‑quality work. Our non‑punitive work ethic is best seen in our Thursday clinical meetings, where we share learning from significant events in a safe, peer‑supported environment.
We prioritise the wellbeing and professional trajectory of our staff. Alongside full NHS Pension benefits and a structured 30‑hour week for work‑life balance, we offer dedicated CPD time and GP mentorship. We are particularly keen to support pharmacists on the path to Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) status, providing the clinical environment and leadership opportunities needed to reach the top of your license.
