Clinical Pharmacist (Specialist) - Medicines Advice

at  University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
The Southampton Medicines Advice Service at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS) are delighted to be able to offer a fantastic opportunity for a friendly and enthusiastic pharmacist.
You’re looking for an opportunity. You want variety, and something rewarding that will help you use all your pharmacist’s skills to make a difference: patient care, teaching, clinical problem-solving, teamwork. Recognised as a centre of excellence, our working environment means there’ll always be senior clinical pharmacists on hand when you need them. We are well known for being a friendly supportive team, and we’ll support your development through mentoring and training designed to meet your individual needs.
University Hospital Southampton is one of England’s largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
We are offering you intellectually rewarding responsibilities and valuable career experience as part of the Medicines Advice team. You’ll provide a very clinically-focused service, and advise doctors, nurses, and pharmacists in primary and secondary care how to treat their patients safely and well. We also operate a busy patient helpline, so you will have the satisfaction of regularly advising our Trust’s patients about their medicines. Feedback from our enquirers shows that our clinical advice is extremely valued and improves patient care.
We also counsel and advise patients after they’ve left our hospital via the Trust’s medicines helpline. This is a busy and professionally satisfying role that gives you patient contact throughout the day, even when you aren’t on your wards.
You’ll be advising on (and therefore learning about) a complete range of clinical specialities, and the clinical skills you’ll be honing are completely transferable to other areas of pharmacy. Whilst clinical problem solving is hugely important, we will equip you with many more skills to become a well-rounded and confident pharmacist.
If you’re a band 6 pharmacist who is looking for the next challenge, or a band 7 pharmacist who wants to take their clinical skills to the next level, then this is the role for you
