A rare opportunity has arisen, for a highly motivated Pharmacist to work at an advanced level, in a regional centre for malignant haematology and bone marrow transplantation.

The NCCC building opened at the Freeman Hospital site in 2010 and provides systemic anti-cancer therapies (SACT) and bone marrow transplant services to adult oncology and haematology patients, as well as radiotherapy for both adults and paediatrics. The centre houses three inpatient wards dedicated to treating cancer patients, a busy SACT day unit, associated supportive therapies, as well as an ambulatory care unit.

• The Trust strives to be at the forefront of anti-cancer treatments, and this has recently been demonstrated by our selection as one of only three centres in England to offer CAR-T therapy to both adult and paediatric patients. We also have well established full electronic prescribing for all medications, (inpatient, outpatient and anti-cancer) as well as being one of the first "paperlite" Trusts, meaning that we have all patient documentation recorded in electronic format, including inpatient notes.
• An important aspect of this new role will be non-medical prescribing activity, for identified, haematology specific, patient groups. There will be great opportunities to become an integral part of disease specific teams, working closely with consultant haematologists, SpR's, clinical nurse specialists and others.
• We require a driven and enthusiastic pharmacist, who is registered with the GPhC, with significant post-qualification experience, to become a valued member of our team. Experience in malignant haematology is essential, as well as having a broad range of exposure to hospital based pharmacy practice. Applicants should be qualified non-medical prescribers, registered as such with the GPhC, or should be in a position to achieve this qualification within the next three months.
