The successful post holder will become an integral part of the ever growing surgical pharmacy team helping optimise medications management for patients within this area.
You will be supported in your development and career by a number of specialist senior surgical pharmacists as well as the wider pharmacy team at NUH.
You will be responsible for working directly with the wider MDT to deliver safe and effective treatment to patients within the surgical specialties at NUH.
This role provides an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and motivated clinical pharmacist to take on responsibility for helping enhance pharmacy input into patient care within the trust.

We continue to extend the ideal model of delivering medicines optimisation and pharmaceutical care where pharmacists are fully integrated in to the medical teams, supported by a team of medicines management technicians and assistants. You will be joining NUH at an exciting time as we have just recently implemented electronic prescribing within the trust.
The post will be based predominantly at the Queens Medical centre, but there may be the expectation to travel to the City Hospital campus on occasions. If one site would be preferred then please let us know at the interview. The role will be mainly Monday to Friday 9am- 5pm, but these hours are negotiable.
