Preston, United Kingdom Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Full time

Job overview

Are you a hard-working, passionate, and driven individual looking for a role as a clinical pharmacist?

We are seeking applicants from all sectors and trainee backgrounds. If you are enthusiastic and committed then you could be just one step away from being a clinical pharmacist in our team of clinical, specialist, highly specialist and prescribing pharmacists, medicines management technicians and assistants.

The Pharmacy department at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust (LTHTr) is an innovative and welcoming place to work and we are searching for motivated pharmacists including new registrants, and those from other sectors to join us and help us reach our ambitious targets.

As a department we aim to ensure every patient is assessed against pharmaceutical clinical priorities. We have developed an integrated team model working with our EPMA system and digital pharmacy whiteboard to deliver a modern pharmacy service. This includes a team of medicines management assistants, ward-based technicians, pharmacist prescribers and satellite pharmacies at ward level to ensure an efficient patient-facing service that is fully integrated into the multi-disciplinary team.

This post is based across both sites - Royal Preston Hospital and Chorley and South Ribble Hospital.

Main duties of the job

Following a thorough induction period you will gain experience through rotations across a number of different specialties as a clinical pharmacist at LTHTR. You will be fully supported by your line manager, highly specialist lead pharmacists, and our prescribing pharmacists during each rotation.

You will be encouraged to develop professionally including completion of in-house clinical training and education, and a post-graduate clinical diploma. As a large and forward-thinking department, you will have the opportunity to work with a large team of pharmacists in a wide range of clinical roles with progression opportunities across a number of different areas.

Our ambition is for you to flourish as a clinical pharmacist and in doing so, for our department to deliver an excellent and innovative pharmacy service to our patients and the Trust. 

 We recognise that the health and wellbeing of our workforce is really important, and we are fully committed to providing flexible working opportunities to balance work and life commitments outside of the standard shift patterns and hours. Currently, around 40% of our pharmacists have an agreed flexible working arrangement to balance their professional ambition and commitments outside of the workplace.

Unsure what day to day life as clinical pharmacist at LTHTR may be like? See the contact details below to arrange an informal chat or visit.

Working for our organisation

We have 10,000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area & give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire & Cumbria.

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.

You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet a range of healthcare professionals & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path. 

You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
