Pharmacist - Clinical Pharmacy Team
We are delighted to be recruiting for a pharmacist to work as part of our Clinical Pharmacy team at The Royal Marsden. This is an ideal opportunity for a pharmacist looking to specialise in cancer treatments and to gain experience working in a world-leading cancer centre. This is a rotational post where you will have the opportunity to gain experience in a number of clinical cancer services and specialties, including oncology, haematology, private care, and paediatric-oncology.
This role is key to delivering a high-quality clinical pharmacy service which encompasses the medical day unit and outpatient clinics, along with inpatient wards and out-of-hospital SACT delivery and administration. This post will be supporting the multidisciplinary team working with key stakeholders within pharmacy, nursing and medicine to promote timely delivery of SACT and to continually improve outcomes for our patients.
Our pharmacists are well respected both within the Trust and nationally for their expertise within oncology and cancer services, and we are looking for a high calibre, self-motivated pharmacist with excellent communication skills to further enhance the team. This is fantastic opportunity for a forward-thinking and patient-focused pharmacist to gain excellent experience at the forefront of oncology practice.
