In August 2017, it was announced that a number of GP practices in the South West, including those who were part of a bid coordinated by One Care, had been successful in securing funds to support the employment of clinical pharmacists in general practice. On 7 September 2017, ITV West Country broadcast a feature around the benefits of introducing this skill set into practices.

For this piece they interviewed Dr Tharsha Sivayokan, a GP in South Gloucestershire and One Care Board member, and Frances Loftus, a senior clinical pharmacist working at his practice. They were part of the nationwide pilot that was conducted to evaluate the impact of bringing more clinical pharmacists into practices.

Read the full story and listen to Tharsha and Frances talk about the benefits they feel clinical pharmacists have brought to their practice.
