Our clinicians use their skills to support patients wherever they are across primary and secondary care (hospital, home, or care home).
Our team offers you a unique clinical, patient-facing role that allows pharmacists to develop or maintain their skills within primary care. With full access to acute trust teams and resources, this will help to enable a system-wide approach to patient care, and is designed around you to make the most of your skill set.
