Job Overview
Are you looking for a new challenge and a breath of fresh air? Are you passionate about the NHS and keen to develop your clinical skills within a supportive primary care environment? Hywel Dda University Health Board is seeking two enthusiastic and motivated Pharmacists to join the Primary Care Medicines Optimisation Team. These roles will work within the Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion localities. This is an excellent developmental opportunity, particularly suited to pharmacists wishing to build experience in primary care or broaden their clinical skill set. As part of the wider primary care team, you will provide targeted support to GP practices and partner organisations. You will work collaboratively and build effective relationships with GPs, nurses, prescribing clerks, care home staff and community pharmacy colleagues. You will be welcomed into a friendly and supportive team with a wide range of experience, committed to developing pharmacists throughout their career and helping you reach your full potential. The post will be based within a primary care office site and will involve travel to GP practices across the health board. You must therefore be able to travel between sites when requested. Previous experience in primary care is not essential. We particularly welcome applications from pharmacists who are motivated to learn, develop and grow within a supportive primary care setting.
Main duties of the job
As a Primary Care Pharmacist, you will work under the guidance of experienced senior pharmacists and alongside multidisciplinary colleagues to provide prescribing advice to GPs and other healthcare professionals. You will undertake medication reviews with a focus on improving patient safety, optimising medicines use and promoting cost‑effective prescribing. This role will support the development of autonomy, confidence and clinical decision‑making, while providing structured learning opportunities and exposure to the wider patient pathway across primary care.
