- Deliver face-to-face clinical services within a Boots Healthcare Centre.
- Assess, treat and support patients using your Independent Prescribing qualification.
- Identify and respond appropriately to clinical risk and safeguarding concerns.
- Work collaboratively with Pharmacists, Nurses, Prescribers and wider multidisciplinary healthcare teams to deliver a seamless patient experience.

- Contribute to continuous service development, innovation and improvements to the patient experience.
- Support service requirements, including appropriate triage, patient or healthcare professional queries and prescription requests where required.
