Summary
My name is Jay and I am the current Senior Pharmacy Homecare Services Practitioner. It has been a privilege to lead a dedicated, friendly, and hardworking team committed to delivering essential pharmacy and financial services in support of the wider pharmacy teams, and patients across OUH.
This role presents a unique and rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patient care. You will help ensure the delivery of high-cost medicines and the safe treatment for patients in their homes. At the same time, the position offers valuable leadership experience and the opportunity to shape and nurture a compassionate, collaborative team.
In my time in this role, I have been fortunate to collaborate with the clinical teams and the senior Homecare team to turn ideas into actionable improvements. I’ve led initiatives to enhance patient outcomes, uplift team morale, and streamline internal processes, contributing to meaningful and lasting change.
This experience has prepared me to transition into a more specialised role, where I will continue supporting the Pharmacy Homecare Service Manager and now work with the Best Value Medicines and Biologics group.
This is a pivotal role within a supportive and forward-thinking environment—one that offers both professional growth and the chance to make a real difference.
