Summary
A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge Univ Hospitals NHS Trust.
We are looking for a highly motivated and driven pharmacist with excellent clinical and communication skills. You must be efficient, exceptionally organised, able to work in a team and autonomously, being innovative and resourceful. You must be hard working, accurate and have experience of managing a busy workload to meet the demands of our service users in a changing NHS.
You must have hospital pharmacy experience, preferably some of this working in a UK hospital, and completed the Postgraduate Diploma in General Pharmacy Practice.
• Primarily as a homecare pharmacist you will be responsible for delivering and developing safe and effective comprehensive homecare services, in line with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Homecare standards
• Champion homecare services and provide training to a range of staff, as the service requires
• Opportunity to attend London homecare medicines consortium meetings, building working relations within this network and homecare providers
• Working collaboratively and support commissioning processes for high cost drugs
• Work alongside senior colleagues, clinicians, nurse specialists and homecare team, developing new skills at an operational level, supported by senior pharmacists
• Jointly working as a clinical pharmacist, you will provide a regular ward clinical pharmacy service as part of the multidisciplinary team, through effective medicines optimisation
We provide care for the residents of three diverse London boroughs. Most of our 7,800 permanent staff live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and the majority are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals and we operate from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London – more than 300,000 people visited our A&Es in 2023. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Community Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic.
We’re pleased to be leading the way in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The Elective Surgical Hub at King George Hospital is one of eight to be accredited as part of a national scheme; the Care Quality Commission has raised the ratings for urgent and emergency care at Queen’s and King George hospitals; and data released by NHS England showed that the Trust was the most improved in 2023 for reducing waits for emergency care.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
