They will also work collaboratively with the other regional leads and their associate leads to deliver pharmacy procurement services as outlined in the NHS SPS service specification (December 2021). By working as part of an integrated SPS team, the Associate Regional Pharmacy Procurement Specialist will be able to facilitate making medicines optimisation routine practice across the NHS and will promote equal and equitable service provision for all NHS patients.

The national specification for regional pharmacy procurement includes helping implement the national Medicine Optimisation agenda, supporting the Commercial Medicines Unit (CMU) in relation to all contracting activities and ensuring the needs and requirements of chief pharmacists, and their pharmacy procurement teams, are represented at all levels of the NHS.

The post holder will support the RPPS leads and their associates in delivering all elements of the SPS specification. This will involve working with all SPS functions as well as colleagues in NHSE, DHSC and the local health economy (ICBs as they become statutory bodies).
