Outpatient Pharmacist

The outpatient pharmacy based at a leading city hospital has a great opportunity available for a Pharmacist to join their team.

Serving one of the largest and most innovative hospitals in the UK, the outpatient pharmacy supports patients with widely diverse healthcare needs: from recent attendees of A&E, to discharged inpatients continuing treatment at home, to regular outpatients needing support to manage long-term and complex conditions.

As an Outpatient Pharmacist, you’ll be supporting effective medication screening, management, and counselling services – working closely with prescribers, clinicians and other partners to deliver optimised patient-centred care in an acutely modern environment.

An existing outpatient or hospital pharmacy background is not essential – clinical, primary care, and community can be considered – as the team will provide you with a comprehensive induction, outpatient-specific training, and further learning pathways.

As part of a major London hospital, the pharmacy is uniquely fast-paced. Previous experience with high volumes would therefore be beneficial for this role, which would best suit someone who enjoys learning, being challenged, and thrives in a setting where no two days are the same.

This is a permanent, full-time position for an Outpatient Pharmacist.

The successful candidate will be expected to cover a flexible shift pattern.
