Medicines Management Technician
We are looking for a driven and knowledgeable Medicines Management Technician (MMT) to join our forward-thinking NHS primary care team. This is a fantastic opportunity for a registered technician ready to step outside their comfort zone and contribute meaningfully to safe, efficient, and evidence-based prescribing.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Pharmacy Technician who wants to expand their scope and make a meaningful impact on medicines optimisation in NHS primary care. Your role is likely to evolve and adapt to business needs, giving you the chance to take on new challenges, grow your expertise, and develop as a well-rounded healthcare professional.

The MMT will play a vital role in medicines reconciliation, high-risk medication monitoring, repeat prescription management, QOF support, and clinical governance across NHS services. You'll work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team - including GPs, pharmacists, nurses, and ICB colleagues to optimise patient care and prescribing practice.

Location: London (Euston)
Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Primarily remote working, with the requirement to attend the Euston (London) office up to 2 days per month, depending on business needs.

  • Medicines Reconciliation and Optimisation
  • Medicines Management Enhanced Service: Implement the Medicines Management Enhanced Service Specification and promote cost-effective prescribing practices.
  • Prescription Management: Oversee repeat prescription and electronic repeat dispensing (eRD) requests to ensure timely and accurate processing.
  • Service Design and Improvement: Contribute to the design and setup of new services aimed at improving medicines reconciliation and prescribing processes.
  • Policy Development and Training: Write and update policies related to prescribing and the prescription process.
  • Collaboration with Clinicians: Establish and maintain effective working relationships with clinicians across the organisation.
  • Data Analysis: Extract, analyse, and interpret prescribing data and incident reports.
  • Monitoring MHRA Alerts: Actively monitor and respond to appropriate MHRA alerts affecting the service.
  • High-Risk Prescribing Areas: Monitor and manage high-risk prescribing, including controlled drugs and antibiotics.
  • Service Improvement and KPIs: Demonstrate the success of interventions using KPIs.
  • Audit and Prescribing Efficiency: Audit prescribing practices to ensure alignment with local protocols.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
  • GPHC Registered Medicines Management Technician with a minimum of 2 years of experience.
  • Experience using SystmOne is preferred but not essential.
  • Experience in a primary care setting or GP practice is desirable.
  • Familiarity with data analysis and interpretation from EPACT.
  • CPPE pathway enrolment or relevant CPD in medicines management.

WHAT WE OFFER:
  • Salary: £32,000 yearly
  • 25 days holiday + eMed flex-leave
