This is a pivotal role for a Senior Clinical Pharmacist who wants to make a measurable difference to medicines safety, governance and patient care across out-of-hours and dental services. You will lead a focused review of medicines management arrangements, assessing how medicines are prescribed, supplied, stored, administered, reconciled, disposed of and escalated across the services. Working closely with the Lead Pharmacist and clinical, operational and governance colleagues, you will identify compliance gaps, patient-safety risks and opportunities to strengthen practice. Your specialist insight will directly inform improvements to clinical governance, medicines optimisation and assurance arrangements.

 This is an opportunity to use your pharmacy expertise at a strategic level: reviewing high-risk medicines, controlled drugs, antimicrobial stewardship and emergency medicines; analysing incidents and audit findings; and translating evidence into clear, prioritised recommendations. You will produce a robust current-state assessment, risk and gap analysis, improvement plan and final report, helping shape safer, more consistent and more effective medicines management for patients
