Foundation Pharmacist (Band 6) - 317 Pharmacy Admin - RVI - The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust – Tyne and Wear We would like to invite applications from enthusiastic and motivated Clinical Pharmacists wishing to join the Newcastle Hospitals’ post-registration Foundation Pharmacist Programme. We welcome applications from both qualified pharmacists and Foundation Trainee Pharmacists, with an anticipated start date of August 2024. The Newcastle Hospitals is a large tertiary teaching Trust, based in a vibrant and beautiful city. The Directorate of Pharmacy provides a broad service across an extensive range of clinical specialities. Our Pharmacists are integrated into a variety of settings including inpatient care, outpatient clinics, medicines information, GP practices, care homes, quality assurance and a licensed production unit. The department continues to innovate and is currently developing pioneering roles to optimise medicines use and promote safe effective patient care. Our close partnership with the Northern Deanery and Newcastle’s School of Pharmacy furthers our research and development, and provides opportunities to gain experience in teaching and quality improvement activities. Successful applicants will be team-players with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and a keen willingness to learn and enhance their professional development. They will be given a unique opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of clinical settings and specialities, of which many are tertiary referral (including cardiothoracic, surgery, cancer services, paediatrics, general medicine, emergency admissions, critical care, neurosciences and older people’s medicine). We also offer opportunities to rotate through the local mental health trust and our integrated primary care hub, as well as working within the Directorate’s medicines information and medicines management departments. Our staff oversee over 6,500 patient contacts every day, delivering high standards of healthcare from the following sites: Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) Health Innovation Neighbourhood (on the former Newcastle General Hospital and Centre for Ageing and Vitality site) Newcastle Fertility Centre Northern Centre for Cancer Care, North Cumbria These include a range of flagship services which deliver cutting-edge care and are a catalyst for innovation to support pioneering clinical practice in the NHS. The Newcastle Hospitals' Foundation Pharmacist Programme is built on the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s post-registration Foundation Curriculum. Each clinically-focused placement is accompanied by structured learning and is supported by a specialist clinical pharmacist practice supervisor, ensuring that our pharmacists are given the best opportunities to develop a solid foundation of clinical knowledge and skills as they progress through their training. Our foundation pharmacists work on a job plan with protected time for self-directed study and are encouraged to complete post graduate qualifications, including independent prescribing. Further development opportunities are provided by participation in our highly-valued extended-hours and on-call service, which allows us to deliver more comprehensive patient-facing care. Pharmacists completing our foundation training will undoubtedly be in a very strong position for future career opportunities with skills that reflect the needs of the future pharmacy workforce. As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us and for our patients, and for you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
