From delivery of tasks in line with agreed levels of performance through to compliance with standard operating procedures and health & safety legislation, you’ll work closely with the Digital Pharmacy management team, supporting team co-ordination management duties whilst continuing to carry out operative duties when required.
Ultimately, you’ll be working closely as a team assisting pharmacists and supporting your colleagues in processing patient and customer orders, handling enquiries, and providing excellent patient care & customer service.
Did you know….
Our digital pharmacy is a distant selling pharmacy which means the patients don’t enter the premises but interact via our customer service team and the technology that supports the services. Our digital pharmacy has the second largest number of patients in the UK nominated to a single pharmacy, distributing circa 130,000 items every month currently and this is growing!
