Following a comprehensive induction, you will cover a wide range of medical and surgical specialties, medicines information, and production. There will be potential for exposure to specialist areas which include respiratory, cardiology, paediatrics, renal, acute stroke, oncology, critical care, and neurosciences. This will be done on a rotational basis allowing you to build up a wide experience base, excellent for building your career portfolio! During these rotations, you will have the support of our team of specialist pharmacists to mentor you, in addition to our dedicated education and training team to guide you through. You will also be supported to work towards a postgraduate qualification and you have the option of being put forward to do the independent prescribing course as part of this.

This involves working shifts in our 'Trust Pharmacy' as part of a 100-hour contract along with shifts providing clinical pharmacy services to NUH inpatients at Queen’s Medical Centre and City Hospital.
