This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated pharmacy technician to join the well supported and award-winning Manchester and Trafford Local Care Organisation, community medicines optimisation service (CMOS). The service provides patient facing clinical pharmacy services, working closely with other pharmacy teams and services across Manchester Foundation Trust.

The D2A service supports individuals recently discharged from hospital to remain safely at home. The Crisis Response service provides timely, responsive care to patients at home, helping them avoid unnecessary attendance at hospital emergency departments and other healthcare services. This model of care is delivered by an experienced multidisciplinary team (MDT), including advanced care practitioners (ACPs), nurses and pharmacists.
