Specialist Pharmacist (JR0082661) Crowborough, England
Salary: GBP49500 - GBP52500 per annum + gym & other benefits
Our Pharmacy team at Nuffield Health Hospital Tunbridge Wells currently have an exciting opportunity for a pharmacist with a specialist interest in oncology and the peri-operative management of elective surgical patients.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, experienced, and self-motivated pharmacist to integrate with the Pharmacy team and oncology/surgical multi-disciplinary teams to deliver an outstanding level of service to our oncology, haemato-oncology, and elective surgical patients. As a key member of the wider multi-disciplinary team at Nuffield Health, you will benefit from processes that fully integrate medicines into the personalised pathway of care for our patients.
The ideal candidate will work flexibly to meet the demands of the service:
Approx. 0.8WTE of the role will be dedicated to the oncology pharmacy service, with patients currently being treated across 4 days per week. There is some flexibility in how the hours are worked on each day, and blended working arrangements would be considered for the right candidate. Our ambition is for the successful candidate to additionally support their Pharmacy colleagues through in-situ training and competency assessment to create a multi-skilled Pharmacy workforce within the oncology service offering.
Approx. 0.2WTE of the role will be spent providing ward-based clinical pharmacy services to our elective surgical patients, and assisting our pharmacy dispensary colleagues with the dispensing and checking of discharge and outpatient prescriptions.
This is an ideal role for a Band 7 (equivalent) pharmacist with oncology/haemato-oncology experience who is ready for the next step in their career but wishes to maintain input into another clinical specialty for variety within their role. If you aspire to provide an excellent level of clinical care and consider time spent face-to-face with your patients a key component of that, then please get in touch with the team that provides that time and encourages and promotes that approach.

2. At least 4-5 years of post-qualification experience
3. Experience of supervising and training other staff
4. Post-qualification experience within oncology and haemato-oncology and the ability to screen and verify oncology and haemato-oncology regimes and prescriptions (Essential)

6. Knowledge of relevant hospital policies and procedures
7. Excellent communication and people skills. This is essential as you will be working closely with patients as well as a variety of clinical staff
