Overview of the Role

The Pharmacy department is undergoing significant growth, and we are excited to announce the opportunity to join our Clinical Pharmacy Advancement Programme. This comprehensive 18-month competency-driven programme is designed to facilitate the transition from a foundation pharmacist (band 6) to an advanced clinical pharmacist (band 7) through structured progression at 12 and 18 months.

We encourage applications from both trainee pharmacists and those with experience in other sectors who aspire to enhance their careers within a hospital environment. Additionally, seasoned band 6 or 7 pharmacists are welcome to apply, with alignment to the appropriate stage of the programme based on their experience. This innovative programme aims to broaden your expertise across various clinical specialties, while also supporting you in achieving a postgraduate diploma at University College London alongside other established objectives. Furthermore, we promote the attainment of a clinically enhanced pharmacist independent prescribing qualification as a valuable extension of the programme.

We seek to recruit skilled pharmacists who are self-motivated, collaborative team players, capable of managing the demanding responsibilities inherent in this essential NHS role.
