Job overview

Are you proactive with good clinical pharmacy skills? Do you enjoy working in an exciting, developing environment? Do you have a passion to lead and deliver patient-focused healthcare and improve the patient journey from hospital to home?

We are looking to recruit a forward thinking, clinical pharmacist interested in developing their career working across sectors in community hospitals and primary care. You will deliver direct clinical care and advise other clinicians to improve medication safety and implement more evidence-based prescribing choices.

You will be motivated, and passionate about patient care, and have excellent communication skills to work with the multi-disciplinary locality team. You will work across health and social services to optimise medications with a patient-centred approach. You will be based mainly in the East area of BCUHB, working in the counties of Wrexham and Flintshire.

Main duties of the job

You will provide clinical pharmaceutical services at community hospitals and in GP surgeries supporting enhanced care and ensuring the application of an evidence-based approach to medicines use. The role will also require you to lead on the area medicines management agenda at a local level and work with project leads and cluster leads on priority work streams. A portion of your time will be allocated to patient reviews in a pharmacist led clinic setting.

You will ideally be a prescriber with the opportunity to expand your competency in pharmacist led medication review and disease management clinics. Our vision as a team is to be able to offer pharmaceutical care closer to home and increasing access to care for frail and vulnerable patients.

The post is open to pharmacists working in all sectors of the profession and we welcome the transferrable skills that are developed in the other sectors. You will need to demonstrate a good level of experience and development in the pillars of advanced practice, but we will work support any transitional development needs you may have if you are moving sector.

On a case by case basis, relocation expenses may be available as outlined in the BCUHB policy and can be discussed at interview.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
