We are looking for an innovative and experienced Medicines Management Pharmacy Technician to join our team and enhance our ability to provide medicines support for Acute Hospital at Home (Virtual Ward) patients.
This is an exciting, new, substantive role that will allow you to develop working relationships with members of the multidisciplinary team and Pharmacy colleagues within the hospital and community setting as well as linking with colleagues in Primary Care, Social Care and Community Pharmacy.
The role is ideal for an experienced Pharmacy Technician who has sound knowledge and experience of hospital pharmacy at ward level supporting medicines reconciliation, has a good understanding of the discharge process and a passion to improve the quality of care for patients within our AHAH service.
Having a wider knowledge of Pharmacy systems and processes within Primary Care, Community Pharmacy and Social Care setting would be an advantage for this role but are not an essential requirement.
The successful post holder will possess excellent communication skills to support resolution of medicines management issues and understand that the majority of patient interactions will not be face to face.
Working knowledge of the Discharge Medicines Service (DMS) to Community Pharmacy would be an advantage.
You should be a highly self-motivated individual with an ability to plan and work flexibly, independently and as part of a wider team. The AHAH service is a fast pace environment providing care for patients on a variety of clinical pathways.
Candidates should note that this is a joint post supporting AHAH patients within Northern and Eastern services and therefore an ability to travel to other locations periodically is a requirement of the role.
If you believe you have the skills and experience necessary to fulfil this role we look forward to hearing from you.
Working pattern: 37.5 hours per week. Requirement to participate in 7 day working to include late duties, bank holidays and weekend working.
