Clinical Pharmacist - Respiratory/Cystic Fibrosis

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s largest and most successful NHS trusts. We provide a full range of hospital and community services for people in Sheffield, as well as specialist care for patients from further afield. We have a long history of providing high quality care, clinical excellence and innovation in medical research. The Respiratory unit, based at Northern General hospital, includes four busy in-patient respiratory wards, and an Adult Cystic Fibrosis Centre (12 in-patient beds) providing tertiary care to over 200 patients.

An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, enthusiastic and motivated pharmacist to join the respiratory clinical pharmacy team and deliver high quality clinical care to these patients. Experience of working in a variety of clinical specialities is essential, including a range of experience within medicine.

Under the direction of the Lead Pharmacists for Respiratory and CF, you will work closely with a well-established team including junior pharmacists and medicines management technicians to develop your clinical skills. As a valued member of the multi-disciplinary team you will contribute to service improvement projects to enhance efficiencies. There will be opportunity to attend the advanced practice development programme and improve a variety of non-clinical skills whilst working through the advanced pharmacy framework. We will support you to complete the prescribing course if you are not already a prescriber.

Good communication, time management and analytical skills will be required and the ability to work effectively in a team. In addition, you will contribute to pharmacy services in the evenings and weekends, thus maintaining your basic skills and competence.

Applicants must have a postgraduate certificate in clinical pharmacy and be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council.
