An exciting opportunity has arisen in Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) for a motivated and dedicated pharmacy technician to join our team of specialist technicians and pharmacists, in providing high quality clinical pharmacy services.
Our Pharmacy Services are highly respected, and our staff work closely with multi-disciplinary teams. The provision of support and training to progress you and your professional development is of utmost importance to us. If you would like to be part of this successful, friendly, high-profile service, where the most important role is to ensure best quality patient care, we may have a post for you.
The post holder will work on the Mother and Baby Unit, a specialist provision for women with mental health problems during pregnancy and/or in the year after their baby is born. Patients in the postnatal period will have their babies with them during their time as an inpatient on the Mother and Baby Unit. The Mother and Baby Unit will be an 8 bedded unit with 6 beds commissioned by NHS England for the women of Cheshire and Merseyside and 2 beds commissioned by NHS Wales for the women of North Wales. The Mother and Baby Unit will also accept referrals for out of area women when there are beds available.
This position offers the chance to develop clinical and operational skills within mental health. You will be expected to routinely undertake medicines reconciliations, check patient’s medicines for suitability of reuse and order medicines for patients. You will also be expected to work with the Mother and Baby Unit to ensure patients receive appropriate information about their medicines.
Applicants should be able to work within a team, be proactive and have a keen interest in perinatal mental health. Applicants must also be a registered practising pharmacy technician with the GPhC. This full-time post will be based at Seren Lodge Mother and Baby Unit, Countess of Chester Health Park, Chester.
