Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the pharmacy team at CUH as an Advanced Clinical Pharmacist in Acute Medicine.

Working as part of a supportive and inclusive multidisciplinary team, you will use your clinical expertise to deliver high-quality pharmacy care to patients across the acute medicine service.

Education and staff development are integral to the role. You'll provide mentorship, training and supervision for junior pharmacists, foundation trainee pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians, as well as the wider MDT, fostering a culture of clinical excellence and continuous improvement. You will contribute to clinical governance through participation in audit, service evaluation and quality improvement initiatives, and will support the Pharmacy Leadership Team in developing and implementing local and national medicines optimisation priorities.
