UHCW Pharmacy is undergoing significant transformation to prepare us to be a world class leader in healthcare. We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, self-motivated Senior Technician – Pharmacy Aseptic Quality Assurance (fixed term) to join us in achieving this goal.

The aseptic service at our hospital in Coventry is fortunate to possess a Quality Control laboratory with whom we work closely. Although cancer chemotherapy and clinical trial medication are our main aseptically dispensed products we plan to introduce the dispensing of parenteral nutrition in the near future. This is an exciting time for the aseptic service as there are many changes and opportunities on the horizon. The Trust is also part of a collaborative of hospitals seeking to rationalise and improve services across the local area. This is expected to bring additional benefits through closer working.
