• Professionally screen prescriptions, optimising treatment where appropriate, confirming compliance with local policies, guidance and formularies, and ensuring prescriptions are safe, clear and suitable for dispensing. Resolve queries and owing prescriptions promptly to minimise risk to patients.
• Contribute to continuous quality improvement, including reducing waiting times, improving patient experience, strengthening relationships with prescribers and clinical teams, and identifying and managing risks within the dispensing process.

• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities. Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
