Tunde Sokoya, Community Pharmacist, Essex

I have worked as an Independent Prescriber for the last 10 years in my community pharmacy and am keen to see community pharmacy fully integrated into the primary care team to showcase the unique clinical skills of community pharmacist.

I am currently one of the community pharmacies chosen for the community Pharmacy Independent Prescribing Pathfinder Programme which seeks to establish a framework for the future commissioning of NHS community pharmacy clinical services that incorporate independent prescribing for patients in primary care.
