As a Medicines Management Technician at North Devon District Hospital, you will join a small and friendly team, playing a crucial role in delivering a high-quality medicines management service across a diverse range of wards.
The successful candidates will provide a medicines management service across the acute trust, including one stop dispensing, assessment of patients' own drugs, medicines reconciliation, discharge facilitation and be part of the technician checking rota as appropriate.
Main duties of the job
As a key member of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients stay healthy when they need it most.
About us
Stretching across Northern, Eastern and Mid Devon, we have a workforce of over 15,000 staff, making us the largest employer in Devon. Our core services, which we provide to more than 615,000 people, cover more than 2,000 square miles across Devon, while some of our specialist services cover the whole of the peninsula, extending our reach as far as Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
We deliver a wide range of emergency, specialist and general medical services through North Devon District Hospital and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford).
Our state-of-the-art equipment, leading technologies and strong links to local universities put us at the forefront of research and innovations, enabling us to provide world-class care to our local communities.
It has never been a more exciting time to join the Royal Devon, as you'll help to shape our services as we continue along our integration journey.
