Are you eager to be at the forefront of transforming clinical pharmacy? We are developing new pathways to cultivate clinical leaders and are seeking motivated pharmacists to join our expanding team.

You will receive support from an educational supervisor, the pharmacy team, and peer support from other Foundation pharmacists. Successful applicants will be supported to complete the RPS Post Registration Foundation Training, which includes an independent prescribing qualification, equipping pharmacists with essential core skills.
