Pharmacy Technicians: Sally MacPherson and Taylor Pollard
Pharmacy technicians play an important role within general practice and complement the more clinical work of clinical pharmacists through their technical skillset.

Work is often undertaken independently but always in collaboration with clinical pharmacists or GPs as part of the PCN team.
