Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Specialist Pharmacy Service Quality Assurance - North West team are seeking to recruit a highly motivated, enthusiastic and forward thinking individual to join our small, friendly team based at the Pharmacy Practice Unit in Liverpool

This is a complex role, requiring excellent communication, presentation, investigational and analytical skills.

**Our main purpose is simple**: to improve the use of medicines to help people live longer, fuller lives. We do this by joining together experts to create a rich source of impartial advice for pharmacists and other professionals using medicines.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
