A Vacancy at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a pharmacist to join the Aseptic Service team at The Royal Oldham Hospital. The service provides chemotherapy, parenteral nutrition (neonatal and adult) and CIVA products to sites across the Northern Care Alliance.

You will provide professional supervision for all activities related to the aseptic dispensing services at Royal Oldham Hospital to ensure the safe, effective and efficient use of medicines within available resources. This includes provision of cytotoxics, total parenteral nutrition and CIVA services. You will also act as an authorised pharmacist.
You will support the provision of a high quality aseptic service which meets the needs of patients and healthcare professionals within and associated with the Trust and also participate in the training of rotational pharmacists, technicians, pre-registration graduates and assistants.
You will undertake supervision of pharmacy staff and teaching of nursing and medical staff and will be professionally accountable for any pharmacy function for which they assume responsibility.
