Band 7 

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Croydon Health Services (CHS) for a dedicated and organised pharmacist to support the clinical pharmacy services team on a part time basis. Our Pharmacy Services are highly respected and our staff work closely with multi-disciplinary teams. 

The successful applicant will have previous hospital pharmacy experience, having provided clinical services to a variety of clinical environments. You will join a team of dynamic, senior, rotational pharmacists, gaining valuable experience across a number of clinical areas (for example, medicine, surgery and critical care, antibiotics, high cost drugs and oncology and technical services).

Under the guidance of your lead directorate pharmacist, you will be introduced to core directorate activities of reporting and analysis of medicines expenditure, clinical governance and risk management. You will be responsible for co-developing pharmacy services and providing professional cover and training to junior pharmacists.  

We were one of the first Trusts in London to launch electronic prescribing and administration for inpatients and outpatients and are continuing to develop the system.
