Job summary

We are looking for a confident and motivated individual to join our dynamic and friendly pharmacy clinical team. Join us as a Senior Rotational Clinical Pharmacist, providing a clinical pharmacy service to various ward specialities through ward rotations under Principal Specialist Pharmacists. During your 9-month rotation, you will support the Foundation Pharmacists and act as a practice supervisor to help develop their clinical skills and knowledge. You will support the Principal Specialist Pharmacists in provision of pharmaceutical advice to nursing leadership teams and the multidisciplinary team in relation to clinical queries and support of medicines safety. As a department we support the education and training of staff through various courses and have put in place a Senior Pharmacist progression plan to build up your managerial and leadership skills.

You must be currently registered with the GPhC as a pharmacist and previous hospital experience is desirable. You must also have a Clinical Diploma/equivalent, be working towards or be prepared to undertake one.

You will work alongside the multidisciplinary team on matters relating to the safe, economic, effective and evidence based use of medications. With support from our Medicines Management Technicians you will ensure that patients and carers understand how to take their medicines on discharge including counselling and liaising with primary care colleagues to ensure continuity of care.

You will also provide a medicines optimisation and medicines reconciliation service to achieve department priorities and targets on a designated ward or group of wards as decided by the Lead Clinical Pharmacist.
