Job Title: Clinical Pharmacist (Specialist) Contract Type: Permanent ### Main duties of the job As part of our team, you will solving medicine-related clinical problems across a wide array of clinical specialties. Our service is a recognised centre of excellence, and unique to southern England. Our working environment means there’ll always be senior clinical pharmacists on hand when you need them. We are well known for being a friendly supportive team, and we’ll support your development through mentoring and training designed to meet your individual needs. All our pharmacists have short and long-term projects on the go, including training and supervising trainee pharmacists, practice research, and web publications. It’s a great way to build your CV with higher level experience in a way that is not available to many other band 7 pharmacists. Our award-winning NHS website www.medicineslearningportal.org is used throughout the UK and 94% of pharmacists say it improves their clinical decisions. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The successful candidate will be responsible for providing a very clinically-focused service, and advise doctors, nurses, and pharmacists in primary and secondary care how to treat their patients safely and well. We also operate a busy patient helpline, so you will have the satisfaction of regularly advising our Trust’s patients about their medicines. Feedback from our enquirers shows that our clinical advice is extremely valued and improves patient care. We also counsel and advise patients after they’ve left our hospital via the Trust’s medicines helpline. This is a busy and professionally satisfying role that gives you patient contact throughout the day, even when you aren’t on your wards. You’ll be advising on (and therefore learning about) a complete range of clinical specialities, and the clinical skills you’ll be honing are completely transferable to other areas of pharmacy. Whilst clinical problem solving is hugely important, we will equip you with many more skills to become a well-rounded and confident pharmacist.
