Main duties of the job
You will be instrumental in preventing delays in patients receiving essential treatment and will contribute to improving patient experience and flow, expediting the safe discharge of patients from hospital, consequently increasing capacity in the acute care pathway.

Your role will involve identifying and acting on medication related admissions and ensuring medicines reconciliation and optimisation is performed as close to admission as possible. The Directorate is forward thinking and innovative, having an integrated approach to Primary and Secondary Care management of medicines.
Pharmacy led clinics are well established and Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians are valued members of clinical multidisciplinary teams in both settings.

This is an exciting time with the on-going implementation of hospital electronic prescribing and medicines administration across the Health Board.
We are fully committed to personal development, encouraging all staff to undertake relevant education and training to meet their needs. It is our goal for all Pharmacists in patient-facing roles to practice non-medical prescribing.
