Many GPs believe that inclusion of allied health professionals in our general practice teams has been done through necessity rather than by choice due to difficulties in recruiting GPs. Many practices (including my own) have demonstrated that our practice clinical pharmacists are not simply 'proxy GPs' but are highly skilled health professionals who perform many roles which are not appropriate for GPs to be performing. In this world of optimising resources and maximising 'Left Shift' (apologies for the blatant use of CCG-jargon) it has never been more important for the right person, to be doing the right job, at the right time, in the right place at the right rate.
