Primary care is changing; both the way we interact with patients and the local structures. It is an exciting and dynamic time to work within General Practice. In Walsall, networks of local GP practices have formed seven Primary Care Networks (PCNs) to help improve the care offered to the local population and develop new ways of working.

Clinical Pharmacy in General Practice is part of an exciting programme of transformation to develop a new model of care which addresses our ambition to deliver person-centred, coordinated care across the district. The Clinical Pharmacy in General Practice model is supported by the direction of national policy including the Five Year Forward View and GP Forward View, where there is a need to better utilize the role of pharmacy within primary care to proactively help patients stay safe and well and out of hospital, as well as helping to reduce the demands on general practice.
