The Trust strives to be at the forefront of anti‑cancer treatments, and this has recently been demonstrated by our selection as one of only three centres in England to offer CAR‑T therapy to both adult and paediatric patients. This post will support, and further augment, our clinical pharmacy service to both Paediatric Oncology and Adult Cancer Services, on a rotational basis. This includes involvement in clinical trials (first in human, through to late phase) and the chemotherapy electronic prescribing system (ChemoCare) for which the Trust is the hub site for the region. Attendance at consultant‑led ward rounds and multidisciplinary team meetings would also be required.
We require a motivated and enthusiastic pharmacist, who is registered with the GPhC, with significant post‑qualification experience, to become a member of our team. Experience in cancer services and/or paediatrics is desirable, but not essential, as full training will be given. Candidates who possess an independent prescribing (IP) qualification will be encouraged to use this within an agreed cancer sub‑specialty, once training objectives are complete. Our team currently supports IP activity in many cancers, including lung, melanoma, upper GI, prostate, colorectal, gynaecological, and myeloproliferative disorders.
Successful candidate will be expected to:
* Develop and maintain clinical pharmacy services in a specialist area or directorate within the overall Trust clinical pharmacy strategy.
* Participate in the provision of other pharmacy patient services functions.
* Promote the safe, rational and cost effective use of medicines by working closely with nursing and medical staff and health care managers.
* Perform the professional role of a Registered Pharmacist, including advice, supervision and co‑operation with colleagues, particularly in relation to support/cover for absent colleagues.
* Support patients to achieve their health goals in relation to medicines by providing person‑centred care.
* Participate in the pharmacy extended hours services post appointment.
