More detail about the role

This post provides a unique opportunity to join the pharmacy team at the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and provide pharmaceutical care across Cancer Services (oncology and haematology).

The post holder will be embedded into the experienced Eastern Cancer Services pharmacy team which includes seven cancer services clinical pharmacists and two specialist medicines management technicians. Together the team provides oncology and haematology ward support, SACT verification, clinical trial SACT verification, and JACIE accredited transplant service support. The team works closely with the multi‑disciplinary cancer services team including doctors, nurses and non‑medical prescribers.

We are looking for a self‑motivated candidate who can work independently and effectively as part of our team. The candidate will need to provide a competent and efficient ward‑based service, while supporting other members of the team with the timely verification of SACT for our main and outreach sites.

You will be joining our team at an exciting time, as we become further integrated into multidisciplinary developments within the wider cancer SACT service.

Our prescribing pharmacists are committed to supporting non‑medical prescribing (NMP), and the SACT day‑case unit, with all our current pharmacists being qualified prescribers or in training to become a prescriber. We have pharmacist workstations in our integrated haematology/oncology SACT day unit to provide excellent patient‑focused care.
