Description
The Trust has implemented electronic prescribing for SACT across the Trust, and at our outreach clinics and peripheral sites. Many of our pharmacists are working as non-medical prescribers with clinical teams in outpatient clinics, and an objective this year is to further expand this pharmacist prescribing model especially with the advent of newly registered pharmacists being qualified with independent prescriber status.
The Christie Hospital Pharmacy Department had the opportunity to host Foundation Year Pharmacists for the very first time in 2025 in addition to supporting a number of ongoing and new collaborative projects alongside several research partners and has strong links with the University of Manchester. Several members of our staff have undertaken post graduate training, research and other secondment opportunities and we are keen to support more.
We currently have an opportunity for highly motivated clinical pharmacist band 6 or 7 (depending on previous experience) to expand the current pool of ward based pharmacists enabling future development of pharmacist services, particularly to the hospital admissions unit and ambulatory care unit. We would consider a band 6 with planned progression to band 7 role with training and development opportunities based on a competency based training programme.
If you are keen to make a positive contribution to the care of cancer patients, we would like to hear from you.
