We are looking for an experienced, motivated and patient-focused pharmacist to join our team as an Advanced Specialist Pharmacist – Gastroenterology
This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in delivering and developing a high-quality clinical pharmacy service within Gastroenterology, supporting patients receiving complex and high-cost therapies, including biologics. You will work as an integral member of the multidisciplinary team, contributing to outpatient clinics, virtual care pathways and medicines optimisation, while promoting safe, effective and evidence-based use of medicines.
We are seeking an individual with strong clinical expertise, excellent communication and leadership skills, and a passion for improving patient outcomes.
