An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic pharmacist with extensive
clinical expertise and strong interpersonal skills to join the Adult Diabetes Services at UCLH.
This is a fixed-term position covering maternity leave.
Adult Diabetes Services sit within the Medical Specialties Division, which encompasses a broad
range of specialist services across both inpatient and outpatient settings.
The Adult Diabetes team is a well-established multidisciplinary service comprised of consultants,
specialist registrars, associate specialists, clinical nurse specialists, dietitians, podiatrists and a
pharmacist working collaboratively to improve outcomes and support people living with type 1
and type 2 diabetes across both hospital and community care settings.
Within pharmacy services, the post-holder will work as an integral member of the Medicine and
Emergency Services Pharmacy Team, providing a comprehensive clinical pharmacy service to
Adult Diabetes Services and, where appropriate, supporting the wider Medical Specialties
Division.
The role also offers the opportunity to work closely with primary care colleagues and partner
organisations across the West North London network, helping to enhance the quality, safety, and
continuity of care for patients with long term conditions such as diabetes, across hospital and
community care pathways.
Advert
Working closely with the multidisciplinary diabetes team, you will play a key role in enhancing
the care and outcomes of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes across inpatient and
outpatient settings.
You will participate in relevant MDT clinical huddles, ward rounds, and specialist meetings,
promoting the safe and effective use of medicines, reducing medicine-related harm during
transitions of care, and driving evidence-based, cost-effective prescribing practice.
As a valued member of the diabetes multidisciplinary team, you will use your advanced clinical
knowledge and experience to influence therapeutic decision-making and apply your
independent prescribing skills to optimise diabetes treatment regimens and improve outcomes
in in-patient settings and out-patient based initiatives such as virtual pre-operation assessment
clinics.
You will function as an expert source of advice and a key point of contact for the diabetes MDT,
other UCLH healthcare professionals, and patients requiring information and support
improvement initiatives relating to diabetes medicines and monitoring devices.
