Primary Care Network Staff

This includes clinical pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, a first contact physiotherapist, a social prescriber and a mental health support worker. Having staff who undertake these roles whilst working on our premisis means that we can direct you to the most appropriate service in the most efficient way.
Clinical Pharmacists
