Each six month rotation will challenge you and develop you in different ways, providing you with all of the support and development that you need to be ready for your next job. You will be mentored by a Senior Clinical Pharmacist who can help you to be confident and competent in your role; and line managed by a Band 8 pharmacist from the area of your rotation.
You will be supported to undertake one from a number of postgraduate clinical pharmacy qualifications that will provide the underlying background knowledge you need to underpin your practice, according to your needs and career aspirations.
