Whatever role you're interested in, we can offer fantastic training and development giving you the best possible opportunities to achieve the career you want.

Our values guide the work we do every day, they are:

Your Responsibilities
What you’ll do
1. To provide a clinical pharmacy service to Specialist Services at UHS which encompasses Cardiovascular & Thoracics, Trauma & Orthopaedics and Neurosciences, with the opportunity to specialise and develop the service to your chosen speciality.
2. To support the Senior Care Group Pharmacist in each area in the provision of a specialist pharmacy service.
3. There will be opportunities to undertake project work
4. As a band 7 pharmacist you will have the opportunity to supervise, teach and mentor rotational band 6 and trainee pharmacists within each care group.
5. The rotations available are:
 
Cardiovascular & Thoracics
Working as part of the Cardiovascular and Thoracic Care Group pharmacy team you will gain experience in a variety of areas as part of the Wessex Cardiac Unit which is a tertiary centre for cardiac disease. This includes cardiology, cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery, and congenital heart disease. You will quickly develop specialist knowledge in all areas of cardiac disease in a busy and forward-thinking speciality.
 
Trauma & Orthopaedics
You will work closely with the trauma, elective and orthogeriatric medical teams to provide pharmaceutical care to orthopaedic patients. Your role will involve liaising with the medical teams to ensure accurate medicines reconciliation and prescribing during admission, and working together with the orthopaedic team to proactively prepare discharge prescriptions to enable patient flow from theatre, the emergency department and critical care.
 
Neurosciences
UHS is also a tertiary referral centre for neurosciences patients and provides dedicated services to neurology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology and neurosurgery. Again, you will work as part of the neurosciences pharmacy team and quickly develop specialist knowledge in this area.
 
If you have the enthusiasm and are committed to team working with good communication skills, we can provide additional training and development to support you. We have a strong commitment to developing pharmacist independent prescribers (over 50% of the clinical pharmacy team are already independent prescribers). We also have five Consultant Pharmacists working at UHS who are excellent role models.

Our preferred candidate would be someone who is able to work immediately at band 7 level. Therefore if we have an applicant who is appointable to the role, they will be offered the position. However if we do not have a suitable band 7 applicant, then we will consider offering the post as a development opportunity to a pharmacist who fulfils the requirements of a band 6 pharmacist and is willing to work towards becoming a band 7 pharmacist.
