H&FN PCN and Rotational PCN & Rehabilitation Services Pharmacist
Are you looking for a change within the pharmacy world? Want to develop your skills as a clinical pharmacist? If yes, this could be the post for you:
We are looking to recruit two dynamic and innovative pharmacists to join the Medicines Management Team. One opportunity is based at GP practices across Hammersmith & Fulham North PCN, and the other exciting opportunity is a rotational post across Hammersmith & Fulham North PCN and our rehabilitation units.
The postholders will gain experience in conducting structured medication reviews, carry out long-term condition consultations, provide a high-quality clinical pharmacy service, and work within a multidisciplinary setting to provide specialist expertise.
The postholders may also be required to travel to other sites and services within the organisation, so flexibility is required as the organisation continues to grow and will include lone working. A car would be useful for travelling but is not essential.
Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is the largest community healthcare provider in the country, employing more than 4,500 staff. We provide community health services to more than four million people across eleven London boroughs and Hertfordshire. We support our staff from the point of entry to develop their careers so that they can reach their potential in a supportive, rewarding, and inclusive environment, while continuing to deliver innovative and compassionate healthcare for our communities.
Main duties of the job
The postholders must have post-registration experience in either hospital or community pharmacy and/or GP practices. Previous experience in community health services or primary care is desirable. A postgraduate qualification to at least diploma level or working towards or completed the CPPE Primary Care Pharmacy Education Pathway, as well as an independent prescribing qualification or currently working towards completion of this, is desirable.
A sound knowledge of prescribing and medicines management issues faced in both primary and secondary care is essential, along with excellent decision-making and problem-solving skills. Additionally, compassion, flexibility, excellent communication, and time management skills are essential, as well as the ability to build relationships with various health and social care professionals.
