Are you a Band 7 pharmacist looking for a new role, or an experienced Band 6 that is ready to deliver this role either now, or within the next 12 months?
To start straight as a band 7, you would be required to have Stage 1 (Certificate) of the Foundation Programme or equivalent, or be on target to achieve it in the next 3 months, plus meet the other essential requirements in the job description. If you do not quite meet these requirements you could be considered for the structured band 6 to 7 progression.

Our department has a strong emphasis on training and development, working closely with HEE and the HEIs of Medway, Kings and UCL to deliver the diploma programme, CEPIP and independent prescribing qualifications.
