Job description
Join Our Dynamic Team as a Pharmacy Technician! Are you a passionate Pharmacy Technician looking to make a real impact in primary care? Do you thrive ...
The Role: As a PCN Pharmacy Technician, you will be at the heart of our mission to provide high-quality care. Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting medication management and optimisation across the network.
- Collaborating with GPs, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals to improve patient outcomes.
- Conducting medication reviews and providing expert advice to patients.
- Assisting in the development and implementation of innovative pharmacy services.

Please see the attached document for a full job description, person specification, and key role requirements.
NED PCN is an organisational group of four proactive GP practices in North East Derbyshire. The Practices are Barlborough Medical Practice, Killamarsh Medical Practice, The Springs Medical Partnership and The Valleys Medical Partnership.
NED PCN is a relatively small PCN with just over 40,000 patients. We feel that this makes us big enough to develop a successful team but small enough to be an approachable, friendly place to be.
The NHS Long Term Plan describes the prominent role Primary Care Networks play in delivering proactive, personalised and more integrated health and social care for their local populations. This will require collaborative working between organisations including GP practices, acute and community health, social care organisations and the voluntary and community sector.
Core practices opening hours of 8:00am 6:30pm Monday to Friday each week.
