We are seeking an experienced and enthusiastic pharmacist to lead and shape our paediatric and neonatal pharmacy service at Sherwood Forest Hospitals. This role offers opportunities for advanced practice development, leadership growth, and innovation.
You will collaborate with paediatricians to enhance services and deliver optimal pharmaceutical care for infants, children, and young people, whether acutely ill or managing long-term conditions.
Our inpatient service includes a 12-bed neonatal intensive care unit, two developing level-2 paediatric intensive care beds, and 27 paediatric inpatient beds. The paediatric and neonatal services are regionally and nationally recognized for patient-centred, innovative care.
The post holder needs to have completed a Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy and has experience of independent prescribing in this specialist area. We will also consider applications from pharmacists on the pathway to achieving the necessary knowledge and prescribing experience with the potential for this to be a progression role with the necessary support put in place.
This role offers the unique opportunity to provide ward-based pharmacy services to paediatric and neonatal clinical areas while also driving innovative improvements in line with governance, legislation, and cost-optimization goals. You will be at the forefront of enhancing pharmaceutical care and services for our youngest patients.
As the lead pharmacist, you will work collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high-quality care to paediatric and neonatal patients, guided by national, regional, and local directives. This is a chance to shape the future of pharmacy services within a dynamic and forward-thinking healthcare environment.
This role is perfect for a pharmacist eager to lead, innovate, and make a real difference in patient care.
We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.
We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
