Main duties of the job
The successful candidate will work to establish themselves as a key member of the MDT to improve processes related to medicines in our fast-paced Emergency Department (ED). You will need to have excellent communication and decision-making skills and be an experienced independent prescriber. Experience working in this environment would be an advantage, but it is not essential.
We will be looking for the successful candidate to work with colleagues to optimise pathways for patients to be prioritised and reviewed by the Pharmacy Team, and also to improve medicine usage within ED. There will be plenty of scope to develop the service based on the needs of the department and interest and you will be crucial in driving the direction of travel. The role will offer the opportunity to provide your expertise to patients at a crucial time. This role is key in our strategic pharmacy plans, and we will strive to support and make it a success.
There will be opportunities for personal and professional development within the role. Links with the school of pharmacy and Newcastle University will present opportunities to be involved in research and education. There is ample opportunity to develop your supervision and management skills in the department. There will be some operational commitments, including weekend and late-night working and line management. We are open to flexible working and would welcome discussions around this.
