Lead Education and Training Pharmacist

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, motivated individual who is looking to develop their Education and Training skills to join our friendly and inclusive E&T team at Southampton as part time Lead Pharmacist for Postgraduate Education. 

UHS has one of the largest pharmacy departments in the country with over 300 staff and are nationally recognised for their innovation. The pharmacist team is made up of over 100 pharmacists: including over 50 qualified independent pharmacist prescribers, several consultant pharmacists and leading national experts.

As a department, each week we review over 16,000 medicines for their appropriateness, dispense over 8000 patient specific medicines, manage an medicines expenditure of approximately £1.5 million and provide access to medicines, advice, and e-prescribing support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We are committed to training and the E&T team like the department, is busy, flexible and responsive to ever changing needs.
