We would like to express our sincere thanks to our PCN Pharmacist Lead Toseef Ishtiaq for his invaluable support to our practice. As our main point of contact for the PCN pharmacists working with our surgery, he has always been approachable, knowledgeable and supportive. We particularly appreciated Toseef taking the time to attend our recent CQC remote inspection and provide his support throughout the process. His input and assistance were greatly valued and contributed positively towards our achievement of an overall Good CQC rating. We are very grateful for Toseef's continued support and for the excellent working relationship we have with him and the wider Tolson PCN pharmacy team.

I've worked closely with this remote pharmacy team for two years, and they've become a valued extension of our service — professional, approachable, and always easy to reach. Whether it's a clinical query or an unexpected challenge, they listen, collaborate, and find a solution; nothing is ever too much trouble. Their clinical knowledge is excellent, and their documentation is consistently high standard, giving me full confidence in the safety and quality of their work. Reliable, responsive, and flexible — invaluable in a busy primary care environment. I wouldn'nt hesitate to recommend them to other PCNs or practices.
