The University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is one of the largest teaching hospitals in the UK with clinical care and services spanning across three hospitals (Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital and Leicester General Hospital), with a pharmacy department at each site.

We have an established electronic prescribing system in place across most wards and have automated systems in our dispensaries and some clinical areas. Both the Trust and the pharmacy department embrace innovation and we welcome ambitious members to join our dynamic team.

We provide a comprehensive induction and training period to train you to provide an effective clinical pharmacy service. You will be expected to work closely with the wider multi-disciplinary team including established medical, nursing and pharmacy teams to proactively undertake medicines reconciliation, review prescribing, medicines optimisation and clinically screen discharge prescriptions.

You will have the opportunity to enhance your clinical skills through ward based training, ward based assessments and clinical teaching seminars. Optimal patient care will be your priority and you will aim to ensure timely, effective and safe pharmaceutical care is consistently provided.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

high-quality care for all, being a great place to work, partnerships for impact, and research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

we are compassionate, we are proud, we are inclusive, and we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
