You will work as part of the multidisciplinary team to help manage the pharmaceutical needs of patients admitted to one of the largest and busiest intensive care units in the UK. North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) Intensive Care unit (ICU) is a state of the art 48 bedded joint ICU/High Dependency Unit within Southmead Hospital, the largest teaching hospital in the South West. We are one of the best performing Major Trauma centres in the UK for survival rates and are a tertiary referral centre for neurology and neurosurgery, renal disease, burns and vascular surgery. Our Phillips ICCA clinical information system was introduced 2 years ago and is helping to develop our clinical practice and continue to improve patient safety. Further information is available in the job description.
North Bristol NHS Trust employs over 12,000 staff providing healthcare to the residents of Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset from our award-winning hospital building at Southmead. We are the regional Major Trauma Centre, and an internationally recognised centre of excellence in a range of services and major specialities. Our vision is that by enabling our teams to be the best that they can be, we will provide exceptional healthcare, personally delivered.
We commit to treating each patient as an individual with respect and dignity, aiming to deliver excellent clinical outcomes and a first-class experience for everyone who uses our services. North Bristol NHS Trust values all people as individuals. We aim to be an anti-discriminatory organisation and are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We welcome applicants from all underrepresented groups.
If you are from outside the area, Bristol is consistently voted as one of the best places to live in the UK, with a rich history, thriving arts, music, gastronomic and independent retails scenes, excellent transport links and easy access to the spectacular countryside and coastlines of South Wales, Devon, and Cornwall.
The successful applicant will be responsible for the efficient and effective provision, and development of the Pharmacy Service, with a focus on Critical Care, in accordance with Medicines legislation, the Code of Ethics of the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), United Kingdom Medicines Information (UKMI) standards and Trust policies and procedures.
