Summary
A Vacancy at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
Would you like to learn how to manage cirrhotic liver or IBD patients? How to give medicines safely via different feeding tube routes? How to adapt long term therapy in short bowel syndrome or home parenteral nutrition patients? Or recognise when bespoke TPN bags are needed? Could you become the first advice point for medicines post specialist GI surgery, teaching junior doctors, nurses and pharmacists how to optimise routine pharmaceutical care in various NBM states?
This is just a small part of what you'll learn as a clinical pharmacist permanently based in our Surgical and Gastro Inpatient team. This new role (1 of 2) will rotate through Gastro Inpatients, Adult Nutrition, and GI Surgery, adding depth to foundation level medical and surgical pharmaceutical knowledge, and introducing new specialist pathways across disorders of the abdomen.
You will have completed the Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy or equivalent and be ready to learn how to adapt evidence based medicine to complex patient situations that often have no easy answer. We offer the chance to complete the independent prescribing course if you do not already have it.
This specialist band 7 post is core to providing high quality pharmaceutical care to patients on our gastro medicine ward, GI surgery unit, and to any adult receiving TPN on GSTT sites. All three specialities include routine input to consultant-led ward rounds, complex patient reviews, anticoagulation clinics, multi-disciplinary meetings, and medicines safety and local risk review meetings. As your confidence grows, your independence in these specialist activities will increase, with project work building on your knowledge of the patient pathways.
With trainees, step 1 and 2 pharmacists, and band 6 to 7 progression pharmacists rotating to us for surgical training, there will be lots of supervising, mentoring, and tutoring opportunities, both one to one and through daily programme co-ordination. MDT teaching opportunities will be almost daily, but we also offer the chance to deliver formal medical prescribing workshops, patient teaching sessions, and undergraduate teaching. All of your development will continue to be supervised by highly specialist 8a pharmacists, who will support your audit, management and leadership skills alongside your clinical development.
As well as delivering clinical pharmacy services, working for a vast and diverse team and wider pharmacy department means that successful applicants will also have the opportunities to undertake Trust-based training courses, as well as team and organisational responsibilities (e.g. staff planning, rostering and service planning), leadership roles (e.g. project supervision, training, mentoring and appraisal of junior staff members) and to support service development (e.g medication safety, guideline and PIL review, quality improvement and financial management).
