Rhiannon Lippiatt
Pharmacy Technician
Read more about Rhiannon Lippiatt
I have worked in community pharmacy for around 12 years. It started as a part time job whilst studying at 6th form which then became the start of my career. Initially, I was a healthcare assistant progressing to a dispenser then a pharmacy technician. In recent years, I’ve spent time practicing as an accuracy checking technician in care home services. Now I’ve picked a new challenge turning my hand to a more clinical aspect working amongst the Minerva team as a clinical pharmacy technician.
It’s my first time working within a PCN but everyone has been very welcoming. I hope I will become a great asset to the team, surgeries and the local community I serve. I’m hoping my previous experience will prove beneficial.
In my spare time I enjoy staying active, participating in regular gym classes and going for walks in the countryside. Also, I enjoy baking and a good boxset or series – thrillers are my favourite.

I am Rachel Dawson, the new Social Prescribing Link Worker here at Minerva PCN. I come to this role having previously worked in the MyScript social prescribing service for Developing Health & Independence.
I will be taking referrals from July 2020. I welcome the opportunity to work with patients on any non-medical concerns that may be affecting their health & wellbeing. My one-to-one appointments with patients will focus on what matters to individuals— identifying their strengths, and those areas they wish to change.
I will work short-term with patients, usually over a 3 month period, using motivational interviewing to co-create a Wellbeing Plan with personalised resources. These resources draw upon community groups and services, and give patients the tools to make positive changes to increase wellbeing. I welcome referrals and look forward to working as part of the team at Minerva to develop the wellbeing and resilience of patients.
I love learning what motivates people to make changes and having been a teacher locally, its great to now be working in this area to help people take action to improve their wellbeing.
