We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic independently prescribing pharmacist to join our expanding medicines management team at Wide Way Medical Centre. We currently employ 1 independently prescribing pharmacist supported by a pharmacy technician, but recognise we need to expand our team to meet the needs of our 16,000 population.

We can offer a dynamic and innovative working environment,with plenty of development opportunities.

The role is practice based and there is flexibility for hybrid working with a mix of on-site and remote work - this is currently largely dictated by physical room space constraints but is negotiable. For direct patient contact activity we like it to be face-to-face because we believe this builds better trust and rapport but non-direct activities can be performed remotely to an extent, but it is important that you meet colleagues and feel fully embedded as part of the whole practice team.

We are a CQC rated "OUTSTANDING" practice.

The role supports multidisciplinary collaboration to improve outcomes for high-risk patient cohorts.

We greatly value the expertise our pharmacist and pharmacy technician colleagues bring and support the personal and professional development of all our staff, particularly with respect to cardiovascular disease care which is a focus for us due to our local burden.

the successful candidate will take part in the weekly cardiovascular optimisation meetings, planned care meetings and medicines management meetings to support the medicines management team
