      Job summary

      Are you looking for the opportunity to develop your skills in a forward-thinking and innovative pharmacy team? We would like to invite you to consider joining us in delivering our Pharmacy Vision of excellence. You will be working with our enthusiastic and dynamic team in providing the best clinical service for patients by working closely with other healthcare professionals.

      The successful candidate will be a highly motivated, experienced hospital pharmacist with good clinical skills and managerial skills with a working knowledge of the medicines optimisation agenda.

      After several years of ever closer working, North Mid and Royal Free London are planning to come together as one organisation to enable them to go further and faster in improving services for patients and the health of the local community than they can achieve separately.

      The post holder is expected to contribute to the development of pharmaceutical services to the Trust and to promote the highest standards of professional practice, trust policies and procedures.

      A clinical commitment will be provided during all rotations. An internal structured training programme and mentorship scheme will support development of your clinical skills.

  • About the company

      National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
