Specialist Clinical Pharmacist - Rotational

Join Our Team as a Rotational Specialist Clinical Pharmacist (12-Month Fixed Term )

The Trust is offering an exciting 12-month fixed-term opportunity for a motivated pharmacist to join our dynamic pharmacy team.

• Have you recently registered as a Pharmacist?
• Are you an established Pharmacist who wants to deliver high quality pharmaceutical care using an electronic prescribing and record system in a hospital team?
• Do you want to work in a supportive educational environment?

If so, come and join us at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust.

This fixed-term role offers a fantastic opportunity to gain a broad range of rotational experience across multiple clinical specialties, while also developing essential non-clinical skills within a collaborative and forward-thinking pharmacy team.

A flavour of your day to day

You will work in a direct, patient-facing role ensuring the safe and appropriate use of medicines across the Trust.

Through the structured rotation plan you will be exposed to, and work within, a number of clinical areas, including:

Medical wards

Surgical wards

• Admissions wards
• Aseptic Production
• Palliative care
• Antimicrobial stewardship
• Inpatient and outpatient dispensary

The department works on an extended hours, seven day pharmacy service on a rostered basis, as well as providing an on-call service out of hours, which you will be involved in.

We have a fully integrated electronic prescribing and medication record system known as e-Care, which is supporting the pharmacy department to improve and monitor the care that we deliver.
