• Team Integration: Work as part of a multidisciplinary team to ensure safe, clinically effective, and cost-efficient use of medicines. Participate in consultant ward rounds and multidisciplinary team meetings.
• Specialized Advice: Offer highly specific advice on managing complex issues such as drug interactions, medication use during pregnancy, and unlicensed medicine use.
• Referrals: Make appropriate referrals to the Lead Pharmacist SEECHS, other multidisciplinary team members, and within the pharmacy team.

• Educational Role: Advise medical, dental, nursing staff, and allied healthcare professionals on the actions and safe, cost-effective use of drugs. Critically appraise literature to provide accurate interpretations for improving medicine use.
• Medicines Information: Utilize medicines information resources to enhance clinical pharmacy practice in community health services.
• Independent Prescribing: Work as an independent non-medical prescriber within designated areas of practice. This may follow training and a period of supplementary prescribing as needed. Be responsible and accountable for patient assessments and clinical management decisions, including prescribing.
