The people behind your prescriptions

PCN Pharmacist Services

How can we help?

As well as working directly with practices, Ashburton also provides Pharmacists for short and long term support to Primary Care Networks. Since the inception of PCNs in 2019, we have worked with a variety of networks across the country. We can provide individual pharmacists to work as part of your team, or a complete pharmacist team to your network. Ashburton will work with you to design a service provision that suits all of the practices within your network.

In addition, we also offer a senior pharmacist support package, designed to provide expertise, knowledge and peer review to your primary care network pharmacist team.

We have been recruiting, training, and onboarding pharmacists into general practices for almost a decade now. We have a developed understanding of what pharmacists new to general practice need, and what general practices need from their pharmacists. Our pharmacists benefit from working as part of our unique team of practice based pharmacists with years of experience.
