Specialised Part-Time Consulting Opportunity for Experienced Pharmacists

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced pharmacists with frequent professional use of Up To Date  Lexidrug or Lexicomp and strong expertise in medication safety, drug interactions, dosing, contraindications, and patient-specific pharmacotherapy review.

This role focuses on evaluating complex medication-related analyses against real clinical workflows and reference standards. Selected pharmacists will assess whether drug interactions, dosing recommendations, contraindications, warnings, and therapeutic decisions accurately reflect the patient's complete medication list, current clinical data, and relevant pharmacy guidance.

Medication Interaction Review

• Evaluate complete medication lists for clinically significant drug interactions
• Assess interaction severity, mechanism, and patient-specific relevance
• Identify interactions or precautions that may be missed when reviewing medications individually
• Distinguish between technically permitted combinations and therapeutically appropriate choices
• Review findings using Lexidrug or Lexicomp interaction resources

Contraindications, Warnings & Clinical Appropriateness

• Evaluate contraindications, boxed warnings, precautions, and Special Alerts within the context of individual patients
• Assess whether recommendations appropriately account for comorbidities, treatment history, and other clinical factors
• Reconcile newer Special Alerts with existing monograph guidance where relevant
• Identify cases where a medication may pass basic safety checks while remaining a poor clinical choice

Dosing & Patient-Specific Review

• Assess renal and hepatic dose adjustments using current patient information
• Verify calculations involving laboratory values, body weight, and other relevant clinical parameters
• Identify recommendations based on stale or incomplete patient data
• Review paediatric, geriatric, pregnancy, lactation, or speciality dosing considerations where applicable
• Determine whether recommendations reflect the complete clinical picture

Clinical Follow-Through & Quality Evaluation

• Verify that appropriate clinical findings are carried through into orders, documentation, and care-team communication
• Assess whether medication changes, prescriber notifications, or chart updates are appropriately documented
• Identify incomplete workflows where a correct issue is recognised but appropriate action is missing
• Provide structured written feedback explaining errors, omissions, and recommended corrections
