We have a great opportunity for a pharmacist wishing to develop their career as part of our progressive team, with a national reputation for innovation and development. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has a diverse and supportive clinical pharmacy team with a proven track record of providing high quality, patient-centred care. With the highest proportion of pharmacist prescribers in the country, our clinicians use their skills to support patients wherever they are across primary and secondary care (hospital, home, or care home).
Our team offer you a unique clinical, patient-facing role that allows pharmacists to develop or maintain their skills within primary care.
Please note that we welcome applications from trainee pharmacists due to qualify in August 2024.
We are looking for an enthusiastic pharmacist to support medicines optimisation across the Northumbria Primary Care (NPC) practices of Wellway, Brockwell and Lintonville to help meet their population needs. This clinical role will involve supporting patients with long-term conditions, medication review and patient facing medicines support to ensure that care is personalised to ‘what matters’ to patients.
We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, in addition to our state-of-the-art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. In addition to acute hospital pharmacy services we provide pharmacists and technicians to four of our local primary care networks with a combined population of 190,000. We also deliver locally commissioned integrated pharmacy services to care homes, frailty, living well with pain and palliative care. We are one of the best performing NHS organisations in England, with a focus on staff experience as well as the experience of patients.
