As a Renal Pharmacy Technician, you will work closely with the specialist renal pharmacy team to deliver high-quality medicines management services across renal wards, dialysis units, clinics, home therapies and specialist treatment areas. You will support medicines reconciliation, medication supply, patient counselling and compliance with clinical policies, ensuring safe and effective use of medicines for patients with complex renal needs.

The role includes providing ward-based and dispensary services, undertaking accredited final accuracy checking, supporting staff training and development, participating in audits and service improvement projects, and ensuring compliance with governance, quality and CQC standards.

At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We run the following hospitals:

• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
