PRACTICE PHARMACIST

Saman and Mobeen are our new PCN Pharamcists. They are both skilled at medication reviews and can answer all types of questions on prescribing and prescriptions.

If the receptionists suggests you see a Pharmacist for a medication review and lifestyle advice, then this is because the practice would like you to do so. She supports us in our prescribing and also helps with audit work and monitoring of prescribing trends.
