A Vacancy at Barking Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and forward-thinking pharmacist to join our Medicines Safety and Governance team. You will support the Medication Safety Programme, share learning from medication errors, and help to promote good governance across the organisation.
Main duties of job
This is a key role that will support the work of the local Medication Safety Programme, participate in medication safety and governance audits, report and escalate identified issues concerning medicines governance, support the development of polices and guidelines, and share learning from reported medication incidents to pharmacy and other Trust staff. The post-holder will deputise for the Medication Safety Officer and work closely with lead pharmacists, senior technicians, ICS colleagues and the wider healthcare and corporate teams to apply improvement methodology to provide high quality, comprehensive and co-ordinated pharmaceutical care.
You will need to have a high standard of oral and written communication skills, the ability to apply quality improvement methodology, and confidently discuss medication governance and safety issues with all levels of healthcare professionals.
You should have broad experience as a clinical pharmacist in a UK hospital setting, and the knowledge and skills to provide high quality clinical pharmacy services to patients.
The post holder will support the work of the Medication Safety Programme, which will include (but not limited to) participating in audit work, reviewing use of controlled drugs, managing risks, and delivering service improvement. They will support the Medication Safety Officer in sharing learning from reported medication incidents and will play an important role in maintaining governance across the Trust.
They will be responsible for delivering a portfolio of work within the Medication Safety Programme and support the clinical pharmacy service on wards as part of a multidisciplinary team.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We’re no longer in special measures; we’ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and, in recognition of our progress, we’ve been shortlisted for Trust of the Year at the Health Service Journal Awards.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
Our patients are benefitting from our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub.
These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
