University Hospitals Sussex greatly values its SACT pharmacy team, which has grown significantly in both expertise and capacity in recent years. We are now delighted to offer a fixed‑term or secondment opportunity for an experienced pharmacist to join us as our Lead Haematology Pharmacist.

You will be joining a highly skilled and well‑established team of SACT pharmacists at an exciting time of service development. We are expanding our clinical pharmacy workforce and increasing our patient‑facing services across cancer pathways.
