We are looking for bright and enthusiastic pharmacists, with the motivation to develop their clinical knowledge and skills in practice, to join our development programme for clinical pharmacists.
The programme includes year-long rotations through areas such as acute medicine, elderly care and long-term conditions, gastroenterology, critical care, urology, thoracic surgery, neurosciences, hyperacute stroke, HIV and sexual health, and women’s health including neonates.
Many of the rotations support tertiary services, and offer exposure and experience of cutting edge practice in rapidly developing diagnostic and therapeutic areas, which require continually evolving approaches to medicines management.
We are closely involved with UCL’s Advanced Pharmacy Practice programme and are gradually implementing key concepts including development of strong leaders within the pharmacy workforce.
Your principal job role will focus on direct patient care, applying your therapeutics knowledge and skills to ensure that all our patients receive safe and effective medication throughout their time with the Trust, as both an inpatient and outpatient. You will use your excellent analytical skills to gather and process relevant information held within our electronic health records system, Epic, to achieve optimal outcomes.
You will also be introduced to core directorate activities such as reporting and analysis of medicines expenditure, budget planning for tariff-excluded high-cost drugs, project management, clinical governance activities, and more general management and leadership roles.
With a broad base of general and specific clinical experience, along with excellent interpersonal and communication skills, you will also contribute towards the clinical supervision of multi-professional undergraduate students and the mentorship of trainee pharmacists and postgraduate diploma students. You will also provide support for the implementation of general clinical pharmacy initiatives and participate in audit and clinical research projects.
