Job overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic clinical pharmacist to join our large and friendly team delivering the diverse pharmacy service within one of the country's largest teaching trusts.
As part of the senior rotational programme you will get to provide complex, pharmaceutical care for patients, optimising their medicines and ensuring the safe & effective transfer of care. You will have mentoring support of specialist pharmacists, and operational ward based support from medicines management technicians.
In addition you will build up your knowledge and skills to give you a wealth of experience for your CV.
Don’t know what area to specialise in but want a post that will give you the skills and opportunities to develop into a first class, well-rounded pharmacist? Then this senior rotational post is for you!
Main duties of the job
This post is part of our rotational programme involving 12-month long rotations aimed at building your clinical knowledge and skills, as well as maximising your integration with the multi-disciplinary teams. The current rotational gap is within the oncology team, but once enrolled in this programme you will rotate around a wide range of specialist areas, such as specialist medicine, admissions, oncology, paediatrics, antimicrobials & ePMA.
You will also get the opportunity to line manage and mentor the junior pharmacists within the department and MPharm students from the University of Nottingham, building your portfolio further.
Working for our organisation
With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
Come and join our wonderful team at NUH. We are big believers in diversity and welcome new ideas to help develop our team in order to deliver world-class healthcare to the vast patient populations we serve. With endless personal development opportunities available, at NUH we will endeavour to turn your job into a career!
We particularly welcome applications from people who identify as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, or Disabled, as we are striving to be better represented at NUH.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
