You will be employed as a Pharmacy Technician within the Primary Care Network (PCN) at one of the four practices which are based across Pontefract and Knottingley supporting the pharmacists in ensuring patients receive safe, accurate, and timely medications.
Responsibilities
Pharmacy technicians assist with tasks such as preparing and dispensing prescriptions, managing inventory, and providing advice and support to patients within their sphere of competency and under the supervision of a clinical pharmacist and/or General Practitioner within the GP Practice. Role holders will write up notes and record information using system protocols and may draft processes, guidelines, analyse data and produce reports for their own or the use of others. Role holders have responsibility for planning their workload and need to be able to respond to changes in demand and priority. Their role may involve more complex scheduling and coordinating tasks across multiple stakeholders or projects. They are less closely supervised than at Level B.
