SENIOR PHARMACY TECHNICIAN MEDICINES MANAGEMENT
FULL TIME BAND 4 IN A PROGRESSION ROLE TO A BAND 5
We have an exciting opportunity for a Medicines Management Technician to join the pharmacy teams within the Hull University teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
Our pharmacy department is a friendly and progressive department that benefits from the successful working relationship between our clinical and technical teams with a strong emphasis on training and development.
We have a well-established Medicines Management Service that is developing new innovative technical roles and we welcome new members whose aim is to work with patient-focused teams providing high quality clinical services and bring fresh ideas.
You will be working closely alongside our ward based clinical teams to ensure the delivery of a high quality pharmacy service, assist with medicines reconciliation by taking drug histories, ensuring patients receive appropriate information about their medicines and helping to facilitate discharge.
You will be involved with checking patient’s own drugs, ordering medicines, patients counselling, training other healthcare professionals and dispensary duties.
Opportunities for further development are encouraged and unless already in possession you will be required to undertake recognised qualification in medicines management and final accuracy checking as well as leadership training
Candidates should have extensive experience as a registered Pharmacy Technician and some post registration experience of working within medicines management teams, whilst desirable is not essential.
Those without this experience will initially be appointed as a band 4 Pharmacy Technician to allow them to undertake structured competencies within an agreed timeframe.
The successful applicants will, depending on level of experience, be expected to successfully complete all objectives, training and relevant qualifications within a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 18 months. Band 5 will be awarded upon satisfactory completion of training
The Medicines management technician will initially be based at HRI but will be required to work on all sites within the Trust and will participate in the late night, weekend and Bank Holiday working of the department.
You should have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, as well as the commitment and motivation to develop new services and undertake further training.
To meet the changing needs of the service, the duties and working times attached to this post may be subject to reasonable change in the future.
Medicines optimisation is at the heart of the service we provide, so if you are registered with the GPHC and have experience in, or have a passion for hospital pharmacy, we would love to hear from you
