Summary
Hello, I am Dina, and I work in the Radiopharmacy team at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed individual to join our small, dedicated team as a Radiopharmacy Technician.
Join us and you'll be working for a world renowned centre of clinical excellence and one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the UK.

You will provide core technical support to radiopharmacy team. Radiopharmacy holds a Specials manufacturing license to supply diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals to several clinical areas within the Trust. The post holder will undertake manufacturing of radiopharmaceuticals, QC of radiopharmaceuticals, packing for transport, aseptic cleaning of premises and equipment, waste management, environmental monitoring, and accurate record keeping as per GMP.
