Clinical to Specialist Rotational Pharmacist
Clinical Pharmacist Band 6 to Specialist Pharmacist Band 7 - Progression Post Are you a newly qualified or early-career Pharmacist, with a passion for clinical Pharmacy? If so, we would love to hear from you. We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated, registered Pharmacist who wants to make a real difference to patient care and join us at one of the largest cardiothoracic trusts in the country. You will work with our friendly and forward-thinking Pharmacy Team in providing and developing an efficient and comprehensive pharmaceutical service for patients across several specialties. The initial banding of the post-holder will depend on past experience. If starting at AFC band 6, the post holder will be taken through a carefully devised programme that will allow them to gain further experience and ultimately lead to them progressing to become a band 7 specialist rotational pharmacist. Main duties of the job
You will be responsible for providing pharmaceutical care whilst rotating through several specialties, including cardiology, respiratory medicine, cardio-thoracic surgery, and palliative care. You will be fully supported through our comprehensive in-house training programme and be mentored by a senior clinical pharmacist at each stage of your rotation. As we are committed to continuing professional development, you will have the opportunity to study for a clinical pharmacy diploma / MSc, which will also include the Non-Medical Prescribing pathway. If you commence at the band 7 level or progress to this, your rotations will become longer, allowing for more specialist activities such as attending ward rounds and clinics. You will also be working in our Aseptic unit and be given the opportunity to develop skills in delivering training and looking into more advanced aspects of medicines safety. About us
