University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

Main Duties of the Job
Are you a recently qualified pharmacist, or perhaps an experienced pharmacist looking to make the move to hospital pharmacy? Our established Foundation Pharmacist rotation will give you the stepping stones you need to get a solid grounding in hospital pharmacy, preparing you to take the next steps in your career.
You will be joining a team of 14 foundation pharmacists and will work on 3 monthly rotations covering all areas of our pharmacy department: dispensary services, regional medicines advice service, clinical trials, aseptic services including oncology and TPN, and clinical pharmacy. You will have a regular half-day ward commitment within each rotation covering a variety of different clinical specialties including medicine, surgery, cardiology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, and mental health.
You will act as an advocate for pharmacy and ensure the optimum use of medicines to ensure safe and effective patient care. You will become an integral part of the team and, with supervision from senior colleagues, contribute professionally to the various sections of the department and provide a clinical pharmacy service to our wards.
We have created a dedicated development pathway to support newly qualified and foundation pharmacists to help develop your knowledge and skills and start to build your foundation portfolio. Throughout these programmes you will have a dedicated in-house mentor or tutor to support you, as well as being assigned a buddy when you arrive to support your entry into such a large department.
