PCN Roles

PCNs have various areas they have been asked to focus on; this includes personalised care and support for patients, structured medication reviews, enhanced health in care homes, and supporting early cancer diagnosis. To enable this Meridian have introduced these PCN roles into the practices:

Clinical Pharmacist

Clinical pharmacists are highly qualified healthcare professionals who train for many years to become specialists in medicines and how they work. They work directly with you, as part of the general practice team, to make sure your medicines help you stay well.

At Bourn our Clinical Pharmacist is Helen Murray. She is available on Tuesdays and Thursdays for you to book appointments to review your medications. She works with our Clinical Team as an integral part of our Long Term Conditions Review process.
