The ATO, under supervision, will assist in the provision of stock medicinal products and feeds to wards and departments.
This will involve selecting medicinal products using a prepared picking list, visiting wards to check ward stock, processing information onto the computer, load handling, and stock control.
Daily duties require the post holder to relay messages between ward and departmental staff, pharmacy staff, and to liaise with and support the Pharmacy Storekeepers and the Pharmacy Porters in their duties.
The ATO, once trained and under supervision, will assist ward-based pharmacy technicians/pharmacists to deliver medicines optimisation on the wards by completing POD (Patients own medication) checks and ordering of stock where required.
Responsibilities include:
Provision of Ward and Departmental stock from goods held in Pharmacy Stores Distribution. Selecting items required from the Pharmacy Store and Pharmacy Robot and packing them ready for return to wards and departments. Visiting wards and departments to check and review all stock other than Controlled Drugs. Inputting information into the pharmacy computer and preparing a list of medicines, fluids, and enteral products required to bring the ward stock up to correct levels. Maintaining the ward or department stock cupboard in a neat and tidy condition. Monitoring expiry dates and ensuring stock rotation. Listing and removing excess, out-dated, or near-dated stock from wards or departments and highlighting with senior team where necessary. Identifying wards or departments who could use near-dated stock and ensuring stock rotation means this material is used first. Using Pyxis machines at ward level ensuring stock is maintained accurately and in a timely manner.
