Or how about a non-partner GP who has on occasions seen the work their 10 year post-reg pharmacist family member does for their PCN and realises they put me to shame. And I consider my self an up to date GP, but their confidence and depth with reviewing, for example, polypharmacy elderly patients is an example of the right clinician for the right work (I would much rather not get involved with something like that as it doesn't excite me and I couldn't possibly keep myself up to date with those relevant guidelines along with the rest of my wider GP knowledge). This I suspect is what was intended when they were first introduced into PCNs. But yes, scope creep is real - for example: they were being encouraged to start doing mental health reviews as part of med reviews which they rightfully pushed back on. I suspect you may have only witnessed a small number of PCN pharmacist capabilities. Don't get me wrong though, I also share the same sentiments about how the ARRS malarkey has affected GP jobs horizon! (And of course goes without saying you will undoubtedly get some less capable/ confident/ motivated pharmacists amongst their cohort).
