Evergood has exciting opportunities for hospital-experienced pharmacists to work on a long-term full-time contract at a lovely hospital Emergency Department. Hospital experience is preferable. MAXIMs & EPMA systems are used at the hospital.
Hospital pharmacists in the NHS are responsible for dispensing and procuring medicines and supplies for hospitals, health centres, care facilities, clinics, nursing homes, and GP surgeries. They may also be involved in manufacturing, developing, testing, supplying, and monitoring the effectiveness of hospital medicines.
Here are some of the responsibilities of hospital pharmacists:
1. Patient care: Provide advice to patients on how to take their medicines, potential side effects, and drug therapy. They may also help patients who are having trouble taking their medication by working with other healthcare professionals and discussing treatments with patients' relatives, community pharmacists, and GPs.
2. Prescription management: Prescribe and check prescriptions for errors, and advise on the most appropriate form of medication. They may also help patients discharge by transferring information to primary care and coordinating ongoing treatment monitoring.
3. Medication safety: Participate in ward rounds to take patient drug histories and ensure safe and effective medication use. They may also check patients' drugs for suitability to reuse and report medication errors and near misses.
4. Medicine-related issues: Identify medicine-related issues and work to reduce hospital admissions and readmissions.
Hospital pharmacists should have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be able to work well in a team, and pay attention to detail.
