Pharmacy Technician

Pharmacy Technicians work within the practice or primary care network (PCN) teams to support and assist clinical pharmacists through their technical skillset.

Within a primary care setting this might involve issuing and managing prescriptions, clinical auditing and, where appropriate, giving advice to both patients and members of the primary care team.

Pharmacy Technicians help by: 

• supporting patients to manage their medication
• supporting the clinical pharmacist(s) through specialist expertise
• troubleshooting issues with prescriptions
