Summary
A Vacancy at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Great things are happening in our Hospital Pharmacy Services across Liverpool University, Liverpool Women’s and Walton Centre Trusts.
We are looking for two exceptional leaders to inspire and give direction to our Pharmacy Services on our Royal Liverpool and Aintree University Hospital sites. Responsible for clinical and operational services on each of these busy acute hospital sites these roles are ideally suited to candidates who want to extend their experience at a senior management level in a progressive environment.
Working as part of our Senior Leadership Team across all our sites, the successful candidate must have strong interpersonal skills, the desire to network and collaborate and the ability to inspire multi-professional teams. They must have a strong background in governance and risk management and be motivated by well-managed change across traditional professional boundaries.
They will be a role model for others and have the desire to utilise and develop evidence-based practice to improve pharmacy services across the hospital and in the wider health economy.
As a member of the Senior Pharmacy Leadership Team the post-holder will ensure compliance with medicines legislation, identify key development priorities, “sell” the vision for service provision to optimise patient care and secure funding as appropriate across a range of departments deputising for the Chief Pharmacist as appropriate.
They will lead, develop, deliver, and evaluate the provision of pharmacy services
The post holder will provide site leadership for MMPS across all clinical and operational services and ensure they are fit for purpose. They are responsible for pharmacy services delivery to these large acute hospitals with multiple complex services, large numbers of wards, outpatient clinics and Accident and Emergency Departments on site. They will also provide day to day advice and supervision for the site leads at Broadgreen and Walton Centre Foundation Trust.
They will effectively support the medicines value programme for the Trusts and the health economy by ensuring that medicines procedures and policies are adhered to and monitored. They will use the Trust risk management framework to escalate risks and concerns as necessary and provide expert professional advice to the Hospital Management Team on all medicines related issues to ensure statutory and clinical responsibilities are met.
Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.
The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and the Pharmacy Team also provides services to the Walton Centre Foundation Trust and the Liverpool Women’s Hospital. Joint committees are in operation between LUHFT and partner organisations to support good governance and enhance collaborative opportunities.
It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
