About the Role
You will be responsible for providing a safe, efficient, and accurate ward-based pharmacy service by liaising closely with pharmacists, nursing, and medical staff. This role offers the opportunity to develop Medicines Optimisation and Patient Counselling skills within inpatient cancer wards. You will provide ward-based medicines management services including medicine reconciliation, discharge planning, and patient and carer counselling. Acting as a key link between ward teams and pharmacy services, you will help resolve medicines-related issues and optimise the patient experience.

In addition, you will undertake dispensing, final accuracy checking (as an Accuracy Checking Pharmacy Technician), and issuing of medicines to maintain a safe and efficient service.

This structured environment supports the wider team to meet key directorate targets while delivering pharmacy services to patients with complex cancer conditions and supporting junior staff development.
