Job overview

Are you a dynamic and motivated pharmacist looking to make a real impact in urgent and emergency care? Join our innovative team at Ysbyty Gwynedd working as part of the front door admissions team within the Emergency Department, Same Day Emergency Care, Medical Admissions and Surgical Admissions wards.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of clinical pharmacy within a fast-paced, patient-focused environment. You will be embedded in the multidisciplinary team, supporting safe and effective medicines use from the point of entry into hospital care through to supporting the transition of patient care back into the community.

We are committed to providing the best learning and supportive experience for pharmacists and believe this is an ideal stepping stone towards specialist/advanced practice. This role will provide opportunity to build on your current prescribing skills and you will be supported to enrol on the advanced clinical practice pathway and gain core advanced level credentialing with the Royal College of Pharmacy.

As a pharmacist working in our team, you will deliver excellent pharmaceutical care and medicines optimisation to achieve the best outcome for our patients.

Main duties of the job

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing expert clinical pharmacy input to patients in our front door and admissions areas.
• Utilising your independent prescribing qualification to support medicines reconciliation, optimisation, and discharge planning.
• Providing wider clinical pharmacy services within the hospital.
• Collaborating closely with medical, nursing, and allied health professionals to ensure seamless patient care.
• Contributing to service development and quality improvement initiatives.
• Supporting the development of current and future pharmacy professionals, as well as other healthcare professionals, through clinical mentorship.

We recognise that our profession's future leadership will come from pharmacist like you with drive and ability.  Your professionalism, excellent inter-personal skills and enthusiasm, will equip you to be a valued contributor to our service and to be a key member of our clinical pharmacy team. Our ambition is to deliver high quality care and embed continuous improvement.

There will be opportunities to develop education and training skills through links with the newly established Bangor University School of Pharmacy and you will participate in the clinical training and supervision of undergraduate pharmacy student, pharmacy team members, as well as medical and nursing colleagues.
