You will be able to work effectively alone and as part of a team.
You must be an excellent communicator with outstanding interpersonal and relationship-building skills. You will need to be forward-thinking and enthusiastic, with a commitment to continuing professional and department development.
The department provides Pharmacy services to Mental Health Units, Community Hospitals, and other community-based services.
Duties will include:
* Accurately updating Patient Medical Records (PMR) and processing of prescriptions
* Label/dispense prescriptions for in-patients and outpatients in accordance with local and national policies and any Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) in place
* Supply Controlled Drugs complying with CD regulations
