We direct physical health queries to and are supported with provision of training by Frimley Park Medicines Information service with whom we have a service level agreement.

• Deliver a clinical pharmacy service to in-patient wards across the different sites of the Trust (at Deacon Unit/ Meadows/ our site at St.Peter's and Ashford hospital/ Farnham Road Hospital) as directed by the Lead Clinical Pharmacist.
• Provide clinical support to the Trust dispensary, based at Farnham Road Hospital and be part of the on-call rota with other members of the team.
