An opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and dynamic pharmacist to join our critical care team to lead in the delivery of clinical pharmacy and medicines optimisation service to critical care patients.
You will be working as a consultant pharmacist to provide complex pharmaceutical care to patients, optimising their medications and ensuring high quality evidence based prescribing. You will also undertake own research and collaborate and support other healthcare professionals in practice based research.
Both consultant pharmacists and those who are undergoing the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Credentialing may apply for this post. Pharmacists who are in the process of completing credentialing will join the Trust as Lead Pharmacist (band 8b) and then move up to band 8c once credentialing is completed.
The Royal Cornwall hospital pharmacy department is a forward thinking and friendly team with full deployment of electronic prescribing and administration in the inpatient and outpatient setting and fully automated dispensing. We provide an innovative clinical pharmacy service, combining technology and clinical pharmacy expertise. We are a recognised national leader for innovation in fields such as antimicrobial resistance and the adoption of Scan4Safety standards, as was recognised in the 2HSJ Patient Safety Awards. All these functions are supported by an excellent wholesale dealer supply service, a well-equipped licensed pharmacy technical services unit and the full range of medicines optimisation support services including medicines information, education and training, formulary support and digital medicines. We have also recently had the funding for a new pharmacy department confirmed as part of a new investment which includes a new Women's and Children's hospital.
Cornwall is a wonderful place to live, offering an excellent quality of life and a truly stunning environment to live in. We have a vision of an integrated Cornwall pharmacy service and will expect our pharmacists to work across organisational boundaries to achieve the best outcomes for our patients as the integration of services develops.
