Bexley Clinical Care Professional Lead for Medicines Optimisation
CCPL Tier 2
Job overview
Clinical and Care Professional Leads support south east London-wide and borough programmes of work, therefore, there is an expectation that you currently work within south east London, and for borough based roles, within that borough.
The primary responsibility of the role is to provide clinical input and strategic support to improve the quality and safety of prescribing in one of the boroughs of South East London (Bexley). The post holder will be expected to take a leadership role in advising how to improve, maintain and monitor standards of prescribing and medicines optimisation in Primary Care Networks and other locally commissioned services. The role will be key in helping to tackle prescribing overspend and will seek to ensure best practice in prescribing practice and medicines usage is widespread across our community based care system with pathways working in the most efficient and effective way.
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will support constituent GP practices in Bexley to implement the initiatives, as well as acting as a clinical champion for the delivery of effective and efficient service models. Although the focus of the role is in one borough it may involve working with clinical leads across the health and care system to share best practice in medicines optimisation.
We are therefore seeking a clinical professional who is currently working in a front-line health or care role within the Bexley system who is dedicated to taking on this leadership role 1 session per week on a fixed term contract of employment or secondment.
