Highly Specialist Pharmacist for the Women's and Children's Division
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the pharmacy team at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals as a Highly Specialist Pharmacist for the Women's and Children's Division. This post presents a unique opportunity to work closely with the multidisciplinary team to provide excellent patient centred care. This post will provide the chance for a dynamic individual to utilise their clinical experience and prescribing, whilst building on their leadership and service development skills.
This is an exciting time for clinical services in the pharmacy department, as we implement enhanced roles in the established patient-facing clinical pharmacy team. Our highly specialist pharmacists have dedicated SPA time (Supported Professional Activities) in education and training, workforce development, research and audit, governance and finance, which provides valuable experience and the opportunity to develop leadership skills.
The use of pharmacist non-medical prescribers is well-established in the department and seen as instrumental in achieving our key performance indicators, so the successful candidate will hold their independent prescribing qualification.
The pharmacy department at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust is an innovative and welcoming place to work, with a strong commitment to continuous improvement. We also recognise the importance of the health and wellbeing of our workforce, and we are fully committed to providing flexible working opportunities within our team.
