Do you enjoy making a difference to patient care?
This is an exciting opportunity to join Leicester Hospitals in a newly funded Advanced Pharmacist Practitioner Frailty role. Given this is new to the organisation, you will be working closely with key stakeholders across several clinical areas, patient safety and primary care on both trust and system wide initiatives. Key contacts will be our Frailty and Geriatric Medical and Pharmacy teams.
An independent prescribing qualification will be required for the role, or a commitment to work towards one. Key to this role is collaborative working and excellent communication skills, good insight into clinical governance related to frailty and pragmatic solutions to complex problems.
We believe in investing on our team. In this role we will support you with dedicated time to train, leadership development opportunities, independent prescribing training and regular opportunities for innovation and improvement.
This role is an 8b Advanced Pharmacist Practitioner post and will have a bespoke job plan.
* The post holder will be responsible for the provision of a highly specialised pharmacy service to patients across the Trust.
* They will be expected to provide expertise to nursing and medical staff (within the Trust and externally) on the management of individual patients with frailty.
* They will be expected to integrate with the relevant clinical teams to ensure efficient transfer of clinical and medicines management issues.
* They will take overarching responsibility for all pharmacy research and audit projects within the service and be responsible for overseeing training including undergraduate placements, trainee pharmacists and diploma including independent prescribing.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We Have Four Primary Goals
* high-quality care for all,
* being a great place to work,
* partnerships for impact, and
* research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
* we are compassionate,
* we are proud,
* we are inclusive, and
* we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
