This is an exciting opportunity for a junior pharmacist to step up to take over a key position in delivering excellent care to inpatients and outpatients at this highly specialised Neurology and Neurosurgical Centre.
The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) is the United Kingdom’s oldest and largest dedicated neurological and neurosurgical hospital. We are part of University College London Hospitals NHS foundation Trust (UCLH) and we are linked with the University College London (UCL) Institute of Neurology.

The NHNN is a leading centre for the diagnosis, treatment and care of patients with a wide range of conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, stroke and head injuries.
The pharmacy team is well integrated into clinical practice and works closely with doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and other ward staff to provide comprehensive clinical pharmacy support for inpatients and outpatients.
