We are looking for a pharmacist to join our growing clinical pharmacy team who wants to develop their clinical skills in a variety of clinical specialities.
In this post, you will be expected to perform medicine reconciliations, screen drug charts and work alongside multi‑disciplinary teams in ensuring that patients get the best care. You will be responsible for facilitating discharges safely and ensuring safe medicine provision on your ward. There will be opportunity to help manage students and trainee pharmacists develop.
Each rotation has set clinical objectives that are set by your line manager that will be reviewed at each rotation to ensure that progress is being made. Rotations include but are not exhaustive; acute, general and specialist medicine, general surgery, paediatrics/medicines info and external rotations to our local Adult and Paediatric Mental Health Services.
Applicants must be registered with the GPhC, have good written and oral communication skills, the ability to apply evidence/guidelines to practice and be aware of their own limitations and can refer to others for advice when necessary. Time management and prioritisation are also important skills for this role.
Further to this, all foundational pharmacists are provided with a rotational role across our 3 largest hospital sites to experience these specialities in different working environments.
Alongside the extensive training received in‑house, with monthly clinical education sessions in a variety of clinical topics we encourage all of our foundation pharmacists to sign up to the NHS England Newly Qualified Pharmacists programme. This training will be heavily supported by a network of educational supervisors, practice supervisors and experienced pharmacists and technicians that will all be available to support you.
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 695,000 people. Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: 'People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference'.
We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It’s about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day‑to‑day. We’re looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
