Clinical Pharmacist (Band 7)

The pharmacy service at Airedale NHS Foundation Trust has a high profile and is well integrated into multi-disciplinary teams, providing a much valued contribution to patient care. This is an exciting time for our Pharmacy Department as we continue to improve and develop our clinical pharmacy service.

A clinical pharmacist is required to join our clinical team to support the delivery of the clinical pharmacy service to a range of clinical specialties across acute, medical, surgical and women's and children'swards, as well as the anticoagulation clinic and aseptic unit. The successful candidate will be a role model with the vision, insight, and self-motivation to implement change and to further develop your skills in preparation for a more advanced role. You will assist in the delivery of medicines optimisation through high-quality care, formulary reviews, and clinical audits and will also be involved in the training and supervision of various members of the Pharmacy team. You will also support the dispensary and partake in the late, on call and weekend service., Your strong interpersonal and communication skills will give you the ability to gain co-operation from clinicians, nurses, and managers to achieve positive and timely outcomes to benefit patients and achieve organisational objectives.

The role includes participation in a variety of trust-wide multidisciplinary groups, giving an ideal career opportunity to develop both clinical and managerial skills.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified and experienced pharmacists, nearing completion of the first 18 months of the Clinical Diploma (or equivalent experience).

We are always looking for enterprising and innovative approaches to the way we provide our services.

Community matters to us and we are supported by 400 dedicated volunteers and have strong links with Bradford University, Craven College and Leeds City College to ensure we inspire the workforce of the future.

We want to attract staff who embrace our 'Right Care' behaviours of compassion, a commitment to quality of care and working together for patients - we want to make these part of our DNA.
