Summary
A Vacancy at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The NHS Specialist Pharmacy Service (SPS) supports the NHS to develop best practice systems of work-related to buying, making and using medicines. The service provides leadership, instructive and informative specialist input and operational support to the sourcing, supply and use of medicines across the system. Our strengths are borne out of connecting national expertise with policy teams and arm’s length bodies to ensure consistency and high standards. The service supports both regional and local connections to ensure that the service’s outputs resonate with and support local NHS organisations which deliver care to patients. The key successes of SPS are through the development and delivery of their “Do Once and Share” methodology.
We are a well-respected team interpreting legislation and guidance for NHS organisations and practitioners in England; promoting safe patient care across the entire medicines pathway. Closely connected with front line colleagues we work with policy makers, regulators and strategic leaders, responding with agility and flexibility to share local expertise within our extensive clinical networks.
This role supports our Medicines Governance Do Once (MGDO)
work programme developing national Patient Group Direction (PGD) templates and resources relating to medicines policy and governance principles for the NHS. The post holder will:
• have an excellent understanding of the legislation, regulation and related guidance on PGDs and other medicines mechanisms for NHS and public health services (including commissioned services) in England and how they apply in practice.
• understand the principles which underpin good medicines governance processes and be able to translate into pragmatic resources for end users.
• have experience of developing resources at a national level
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.
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.
