Are you a registered Pharmacy Technician looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference to patient care beyond the dispensary?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Neighbourhood Support Pharmacy Technician to join our Medicines Optimisation Team. This is an exciting opportunity to work across neighbourhood teams, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), GP practices and community pharmacies, supporting the safer, more effective and evidence-based use of medicines for patients across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Our Medicines Optimisation Team is a friendly, supportive and highly collaborative group of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and support staff who are passionate about improving patient care and making the best use of NHS resources.

Working closely with neighbourhood teams, GP practices and Primary Care Networks means you’ll gain insight into the wider primary care system, build trusted professional relationships and support improvements that make a real difference to patients. The variety of the role means no two days are the same, offering opportunities to broaden your experience while making a tangible difference to outcomes for the population.

Advert

The post holder will play a key role in supporting the Medicines Optimisation Team (MOT) to deliver the Integrated Care Board's (ICB) agreed Medicines Optimisation and Cost Improvement Programme (CIP), helping to identify and implement opportunities that improve value, optimise the use of NHS resources and maintain high-quality patient care. You will be supported by experienced pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to develop your expertise in medicines optimisation, prescribing analysis, quality improvement and programme delivery, with opportunities to make a meaningful contribution to improving patient outcomes across the healthcare system.

This varied role offers the chance to work on medicines optimisation priorities and quality improvement initiatives that directly improve patient care. You'll build strong relationships with healthcare professionals, contribute to innovative service developments and use your skills to influence positive change across primary care. Unlike traditional pharmacy technician roles, this position offers the opportunity to influence medicines optimisation across multiple practices and neighbourhoods, helping to improve outcomes for whole patient populations.

If you enjoy working collaboratively, solving problems and want a role where your work has a genuine impact on patients and the wider NHS, we'd love to hear from you.
