We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated pharmacist to join our friendly pharmacy team within physical health inpatient services in a community hospital setting.
Supported by the Advanced Clinical Pharmacist, you will be responsible for delivering the day-to-day high-quality patient focused clinical pharmacy service on our older people’s physical health rehabilitation wards, together with our dedicated and experienced specialist pharmacy technician.
The post holder will be based between the Intermediate Care Unit, Peterborough and Trafford ward, Wisbech, so the ability to work flexibly and travel between sites is essential.
Ideally, we are looking for someone with experience in the care of older people but would consider those who would like to make a move into this specialty and would support you in your development and transition to this role, as well as supporting you to achieve further qualifications including prescribing.
The person we are looking for is someone that can positively contribute to the clinical medicines management of older people. The successful candidate will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of passionate and dedicated healthcare professionals to support safe and effective prescribing and use of medicines, and medicines optimisation in these units, supporting patients and carers and promoting independence with medicines.
The post holder will be expected to provide medicines information and advice on all aspects of medicines management to medical, nursing, and other staff on these wards, support the pharmacy technicians and contribute to local education of ward staff.
The post holder will also contribute to clinical audit and assurance monitoring in both ward and community settings, suggesting quality improvements and participating in the development of policies, procedures, and guidelines when required.
