Job Description

Are you looking for the opportunity to develop your skills in a forward-thinking and innovative pharmacy team? We would like to invite you to consider joining us in delivering our Pharmacy Vision of excellence. You will be working with our enthusiastic and dynamic team in providing the best clinical service for patients by working closely with other healthcare professionals.
The successful candidate will be a highly motivated, experienced hospital pharmacist with good clinical skills and managerial skills with a working knowledge of the medicines optimisation agenda.
After several years of ever closer working, North Mid and Royal Free London are planning to come together as one organisation to enable them to go further and faster in improving services for patients and the health of the local community than they can achieve separately. The merger of North Mid into the RFL group is currently expected to take place on 1 January 2025, subject to NHS England and Secretary of State approval.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will work in all sections of the pharmacy service. This includes dispensary, ward/clinical pharmacy, education & training and technical services.
The post holder is expected to contribute to the development of pharmaceutical services to the Trust and to promote the highest standards of professional practice, trust policies and procedures.
A clinical commitment will be provided during all rotations. An internal structured training programme and mentorship scheme will support development of your clinical skills.
