16 CURRENT PERSPECTIVE Phase application waves 112m has been made available to NHS England for the roll-out of Wave 2. Investment of 36 million over three years The funding will cover recruitment, employment, training and development of clinical pharmacists and the development of employing/participating practices. For London this equates to 252 WTE Clinical Pharmacists
17 TRAINING In the Pilot all pharmacists who participate are expected to undertake predominantly workplace-based development and education provided by the Centre for Postgraduate Pharmacy Education (CPPE). 18 month program covers: Fundamentals of general practice Prescribing Clinical assessment, examination and monitoring Consultation and communication skills Long-term condition management Common ailments management Medicines optimisation, multimorbidity and polypharmacy Evidence-based medicine and safety Leadership and management
18 INDEPENDENT PRESCRIBING Regulations allow Pharmacists to prescribe since 2006 Independent prescribers must complete a GPhC accredited program Usually runs over 6 months includes 26 days of teaching and 12 days of supervised practiced with a medical practitioner
19 DUTIES OF THE CLINICAL PHARMACIST Management of repeat Prescriptions - Practice pharmacists can interpret blood results, BP readings and other clinically relevant information required to assess the efficacy and adverse effects of medicines to reach a decision on reauthorisation.

21 PHARMACISTS IN GENERAL PRACTICE What do Pharmacists do in General Practice?
22 MEDICAL ASSISTANTS IN GENERAL PRACTICE
23 WHAT IS A MEDICAL ASSISTANT A new role to that has been introduced, to upskill current administrative staff to undertake additional medical administrative tasks, that will reduce the work load of GPs and other Clinical Staff
24 DUTIES Managing and Triaging Practice Correspondence Managing referrals to secondary care Producing test request forms Managing Lab results Buddying with GPs for Phone Calls Routine test requests and recall Clinical Audit work *Basic Clinical Tasks
25 MEDICAL ASSISTANTS TRAINING TIMETABLE Time Topic Presenter Introduction Katie Rack & Sandy England How to Read Code Accurately Katie Rack Break Dealing with routine letters Katie Rack Producing Forms and Referral Letters Katie Rack e-referrals Katie Rack Lunch DNA Management Katie Rack Giving Results Sandy England Break Urine Testing Sandy England Measuring Blood Pressure Sandy England Q&A Katie Rack & Sandy England
26 CASE EXAMPLES Medical Assistants processing letters, Brighton and Hove GP Access Fund Members of the practice clerical team are trained to read, code and action incoming clinical correspondence according to a standard protocol. The protocol was developed by local GPs and refined through live testing in practice, using feedback about its safety and efficiency. Impact In the first 6 practices to trial this, this has saved an average of 45 minutes of each GPs time each day, with no significant events having occurred in the first 15,000 letters to be processed. GPs report being satisfied with the safety of the approach, the improved quality of coding and the release of their time. Clerical staff report that they are confident to run the new process and describe renewed job satisfaction. Some of the most experienced staff describe it as the best thing that has happened to their job.
27 CASE EXAMPLES Clinical 'buddies AT Medics practices London Each GP sits alongside a buddy. This is a specially trained member of the clerical team, who acts as an assistant to the GP. They prepare for the full clinical consultation by obtaining details of the patients need. They undertake opportunistic screening and signposting, for example reminding patients about upcoming immunisations and due investigations, or informing them about services in the community relevant to their situation. After the consultation with the GP, they perform administrative tasks such as arranging investigations and follow-up, or ensuring the patient is fully aware of the next steps for their plan. Face-to-face consultations with GPs are reserved for those problems which need a physical examination, more in-depth input for personal continuity of care. The use of multidisciplinary pairs of staff in the frontline teams increases uptake of preventive care.
