Medicines Information and Patient Services Pharmacist
Are you a Band 7 pharmacist looking for 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.
This post offers a variety of experience, primarily split between patient services and medicines information, with ad hoc cover of acute wards and clinical trials when necessary. Clinical screening is a major element of this role
This candidate will need to work in an intense environment, demonstrate good leadership skills, and manage multiple priorities. The individual will work as part of a team, both within pharmacy and with other stakeholders across the trust. Previous experience of working on wards is an advantage. Awareness and understanding of CQC, GPhC and NHS standards is an advantage.
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. For those who have completed the diploma, opportunities include non-medical prescribing, becoming a designated supervisor for trainee pharmacists and other line management
