A six-month Enhanced Access clinical pharmacist post with the LMA West London GP Federation, supporting general practice in its area. The work is episodic rather than continuity-based: the pharmacist assesses each patient's presenting need, covering medication reviews, acute conditions and prescribing, then hands ongoing care to the registered practice. It sits within a multidisciplinary primary care service where safety-netting and clear clinical records are central. Full GPhC registration with no restrictions is required; independent prescribing is desirable.

- Assess and manage patients' acute, minor and common conditions in episodic face-to-face, telephone and remote Enhanced Access consultations
- Make safe prescribing decisions within competence, service scope, the NWL formulary and NICE guidance
- Undertake medication reviews, reconciliation and optimisation
- Keep accurate, actionable records and hand ongoing monitoring, treatment or review to the registered practice, avoiding inappropriate continuity

- Process acute and repeat prescription requests in line with service protocols
- Provide evidence-based medicines advice and support antimicrobial stewardship
- Contribute to clinical governance, audit, quality improvement and medicines safety
