Colchester Essex, United Kingdom East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Have you got the enthusiasm and passion to take the next step in your career in an acute hospital pharmacy department?


We are looking for qualified, registered pharmacy technicians or those due to qualify this year, who wish to develop clinically in a patient focused role with opportunity to work within dispensaries (oncology, outpatients and in-patients) and at ward level at Colchester Hospital.


For Band 5 you will have an Accredited Checking Technician qualification and Medicines Reconciliation (or started) and relevant experience. You will be supported in any relevant pharmacy courses including Medicines Management, leadership and other professional personal developmental training.


To provide a high quality service to our patients you will be a team player with the ability to work flexibly, react positively to change and know the limitations of the role. Participate in providing supervision and training to other pharmacy department colleagues.
Provide dispensing, counselling and near patient services in various dispensaries including the inpatient, oncology and outpatient dispensaries.
Be an Accredited Checking Technician undertaking checking duties within the dispensary and recording dispensing errors using the right first time error reporting system.
Work clinically on a rotational basis at ward level, providing a patient centred approach to medicines management and taking responsibility for the pharmaceutical care of patients.
Minimise medicines-associated risk and ensure medication safety in accordance with local and national guidance.
Proactively support senior pharmacy colleagues to ensure that all relevant dispensary or ward issues are highlighted to all appropriate departmental staff.
