Description:
As a TCP dispenser you will be working in both the inpatient dispensary and the new outpatient dispensary, when completed.
Our dispenser team are a vital component for delivering a high quality service to patients and Trust colleagues. Ideally, the post holder will already have experience of working in a busy dispensing environment.
The complex medicines prescribed and treatment regimes seen as routine within the hospital are very different from those that would be encountered in a community pharmacy but all new dispensers follow a structured six month induction programme, supported by a mentor and nominated pharmacist.
When completed the dispenser will be confident in the operation of automated dispensing robots, the compilation of complex treatment therapies for inpatients and outpatients, assembly of discharge prescriptions, stock supply to wards and peripheral clinics.
TCP dispensers work as part of a broader team comprising of pharmacists, accuracy checking technicians, technicians and pharmacy support workers all dedicated to providing a safe, efficient and beneficial service to the patients of the Trust.
Dependent on progress, the right candidate will be supported in gaining a NVQ3 qualification to become a technician.
