Clinical Pharmacist

The first of of our initiatives together is to employ a clinical pharmacist who will work across all 4 surgeries to optimise our prescribing services. The job of the clinical pharmacist is to determine the best medications for a given symptom for a particular patient at a given time. As an expert on medicine who has trained for several years, he will carry out medication reviews, make sure we are following the very latest guidelines and switch or change drugs when appropriate. He may also be able to suggest alternatives for patients who suffer from side effects from certain drugs and will listen to any concerns you may have about your medication regime and give up-to-date, evidence based advice. If you are called in for a medication review, we would strongly recommend that you take up the opportunity. You can also ask to have an appointment with our pharmacist

For an easy to read summary of what a clinical pharmacist does, please see here.

Our clinical pharmacist is called Murray Dick and he works at all four surgeries. His usual working days are

Monday – The Hart Surgery
Tuesday – Sonning Common Health Centre
Wednesday – The Bell Surgery
Thurday – Nettlebed Surgery
