Integrated Remote Pharmacy Support for Neighbourhood Health Teams
As NHS England develops neighbourhood health teams to serve defined local populations, Remote Clinical Providers is building clinical pharmacy capacity to support integrated, community-based medicines optimisation within multi-disciplinary neighbourhood teams.
The Gap
Pharmacy in Neighbourhood Health — The Gap
Neighbourhood health teams bring together GPs, community nurses, social workers and other health professionals to serve defined local populations. Clinical pharmacy input into these teams is inconsistent — many neighbourhoods lack structured access to remote pharmacy capacity that can flex across community and primary care settings.
Remote Clinical Providers is developing a model specifically designed for neighbourhood health — bringing governed, managed remote pharmacy capacity into MDT settings, with clinical governance frameworks appropriate to community-based delivery.
What We Support
Clinical Pharmacy Within the Neighbourhood Health Model
Our service offer for neighbourhood health is built around the realities of MDT working, community-based care and population health priorities.
MDT Pharmacy Integration
Providing clinical pharmacy input into multi-disciplinary neighbourhood health teams — supporting medicines decisions, medication reviews and prescribing oversight within the team.
Community-Based Medicines Reviews
Structured remote medicines reviews for patients managed within neighbourhood health programmes — LTC reviews, polypharmacy assessments and medicines safety checks.
Health Inequalities Medicines Support
Targeted medicines optimisation for underserved populations — supporting access, adherence and appropriate prescribing in communities with greatest clinical need.
Social Prescribing Medicines Support
Clinical pharmacy input to support patients referred through social prescribing — reviewing medications, identifying risk and supporting appropriate deprescribing where needed.
Care Home Medicines Reviews
Structured remote pharmacy support for care home residents managed within neighbourhood health — medication reviews, STOPP/START assessments and medicines safety monitoring.
Neighbourhood Prescribing Governance
Clinical governance framework for pharmacy activity within neighbourhood health — documented escalation routes, role boundaries and audit trails aligned to team structure.
MDT Integration
Built for Multi-Disciplinary Team Working
Neighbourhood health requires pharmacy that works within a team — not as a standalone service. Our model is designed around MDT integration: defined role boundaries, clear escalation, and clinical governance appropriate to community-based settings.
We work with team leads to understand the neighbourhood structure, patient cohort and clinical priorities before deploying any pharmacy capacity.
What we agree before integration
- Pharmacy role defined within the MDT structure before deployment
- Escalation routes agreed with named clinician in the neighbourhood team
- Clinical boundaries documented and communicated to all team members
- System access and workflow configuration aligned to community setting
- Regular clinical review and team feedback built into the model
- Activity reporting aligned to population health priorities
How We Integrate With Neighbourhood Health Teams
A structured process from team discovery to ongoing clinical delivery and review.
