  • Participating in the 7-day pharmacy service as required.
  • Coordinating staff, workflow, and workload to ensure adequate dispensary service and facilitate effective handovers.
  • Assisting the clinical pharmacy team by evaluating Patients Own Drugs (PODs) for suitability, discussing future supply with patients or care providers, and ordering necessary medications from the pharmacy.
  • Transcribing medication requirements from drug charts onto ward pharmacy sheets.
  • Conducting Medicines Reconciliation (upon completion of accredited training), verifying patient medication history against prescribed medications on the inpatient prescription chart.
  • Providing counseling to patients or caregivers (after completing in-house or accredited training), particularly for those with complex medication regimens or compliance issues.
  • Maintaining registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council and fulfilling Continuing Professional Development requirements.
