The CRT Pharmacy team was set up in 2019 providing services to Newport, Caerphilly and Torfaen. Due to the continued success of the service, further investment was secured at the end of 2023 to extend the service to all 5 boroughs. The comprehensive extension to funding endorsed the contribution of this Intermediate Care Pharmacy team. The new funding not only allowed a roll out of the service to all boroughs within the Gwent Region, it also led to integration and redesign of the Pharmacy service provided to the Community hospital rehabilitation wards of South Monmouthshire and Torfaen.
This new Pharmacy Technician post has been created to further support development of a Pharmacy Technician led pharmacy service to our virtual wards and rehabilitation wards. The successful applicant will be required to work across the 5 boroughs to support the Pharmacy service to the CRTs and help develop the new Pharmacy service to the Rehabilitation wards, working closely with the Lead Pharmacist and the current band 6 Pharmacy Technicians, increasing resilience within this developing service.
The CRT Pharmacy team currently provide a Pharmacy service to Frailty Consultant led hospital at home patients, Therapies/Social Care-led Reablement patients, Nurse-led home parenteral service patients (including IV antimicrobials) and Community Falls patients. We also take referrals from acute ward Pharmacy staff to ensure that frail/vulnerable patients are supported in taking medicines post discharge. Our role involves regular MDT meetings, home visits, virtual & actual ward rounds and data collection and analysis of contributions to patient care. Each day brings a new challenge, the chance to learn from those around us, job satisfaction and an opportunity to further develop the service!
With a unique role working across the primary/secondary care interface, you will build excellent relationships with community, practice based and hospital colleagues. The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
