An Exciting Opportunity for a Specialist Clinical Pharmacist
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated specialist clinical pharmacist to join our pharmacy team. The post holder will predominantly work within the GI oncology disease group supervising Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapies for patients with colorectal cancers.
Role and Responsibilities
The post holder will be accountable for the delivery of specialist clinical pharmacy services, supporting the cancer disease group in conjunction with other specialist GI disease group pharmacists, and have an active role in the outpatient clinic setting with regards to prescribing. As such, the postholder must ideally possess an independent prescribing qualification or at least be working towards this qualification.
The postholder will have an integral role within the MDT team and contribute to service delivery, new initiatives, and development/review of drug protocols, including new NICE approved SACT within the disease group.
About the Department
The Christie Pharmacy Department is a progressive and innovative service with strong links to the University of Manchester and a growing portfolio of collaborative research projects. The department is committed to staff development, with opportunities for postgraduate education, research involvement, and secondments.
Role Details
- Location: Although the pharmacy service is based at The Christie Hospital main site, postholders may be required to work at any location across the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cancer Network. The Trust has a flexible working policy, and subject to service commitments, it may also be possible to support an element of working from home.
- Duration: This position is to cover a 12-month maternity leave, and we would consider applicants wishing a secondment opportunity.
