Department: Pharmacy
Band 8a - £53,755 - £60,504 per annum
Hours: 37.5 per week, all MKUH roles will be considered for flexible working
Are you a Pharmacist passionate about helping people get the best from their medicines? Do you love helping people to self-care and look after themselves? Do you have the experience of running high quality, patient focused pharmacy services? If so, we need you!
Milton Keynes University Hospital Pharmacy has had significant investment over the last year in a fully refurbished Pharmacy department and a state of the art Aseptic Unit. In addition we have added a new outpatient dispensary right in the heart of our main entrance and OPD.
We have recently undertaken a change in the manner in which safety incidents are managed, using the PSIRF model. This focuses on learning from errors and we are looking for a clinical pharmacist with experience at band 7 or 8a level in hospital pharmacy or medication safety experience to join the Medicines Use Team.
You will bring a passion for health and wellbeing with a desire to support both patients and staff of the hospital to manage their health and improve from incidents. You will have an eye for service development, system wide learning and governance processes. You will need strong clinical skills and a good knowledge of hospital pharmacy practice to be able to liaise with prescribers and nurses to optimise the use of medicines and reduce the risk of medication safety incidents to ensure the best possible patient outcomes.
In return, you will be supported by the wider Pharmacy team and you will have the opportunity to develop your own skills and undertake your own professional development. This is an opportunity to set up a service from scratch to offer the highest quality of care.
If you would like to discuss the role further, please do get in touch.
