In this session, we will explore the evolving role of pharmacy technicians within elective orthopaedic services, emphasising how expanding their scope of practice can enhance patient care, improve operational efficiency, and support healthcare teams. With the growing demand post pandemic for orthopaedic procedures and the increasing complexity of medication management and patient co-morbidities, pharmacy technicians are uniquely positioned to take on more advanced responsibilities. In addition we will discuss how the support of pharmacists in the career progression of pharmacy technicians is vital and how we can evolve multi-disciplinary team working.
