We are looking for a pharmacist to join our growing clinical pharmacy team who wants to develop their clinical skills in a variety of clinical specialities.

You will be responsible for facilitating discharges safely and ensuring safe medicine provision on your ward. There will be opportunity to help manage students and trainee pharmacists develop.
Each rotation has set clinical objectives that are set by your line manager that will be reviewed at each rotation to ensure that progress is being made.

Time management and prioritisation are also important skills for this role.

Main duties of the job Further to this, all foundational pharmacists are provided with a rotational role across our 3 largest hospital sites to experience these specialities in different working environments.

This training will be heavily supported by a network of educational supervisors, practice supervisors and experienced pharmacists and technicians that will all be available to support you.
