Primary Care Network Senior Clinical Pharmacist
Band 8a
Job overview
Are you looking for the next step in your career? A role which allows you to demonstrate your clinical experience and help develop and deliver high quality pharmacy services within primary care.
Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust on behalf of 3Sixty Care Partnership, and its member practices, are excited to announce that they are seeking to recruit Senior Clinical Pharmacists across networks of GP practices in North Northamptonshire and expand the existing team.
The 3Sixty Care Partnership is a unique joint venture between a federation of 27 GP practices in Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and East Northants and Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. We aim to bring health and care professionals together to provide community based prevention programmes and joined up health and care treatment and support for our patients where they live.
3Sixty are working together with the five newly formed Primary Care Networks (PCNs) to support them to deliver joined-up services which we believe will lead to better quality care, better patient satisfaction and better outcomes.
We are very excited to offer opportunities for Senior Clinical Pharmacists at 8a level to work within our existing team of pharmacy professionals and to be involved in the development of new models of care. These roles will work with the existing team supporting practices in Wellingborough, East Northants, Kettering and Corby.
Main duties of the job
The role involve working in a multi-disciplinary team in a patient-facing role as well as providing primary support to general practice staff with regards to prescription and medication queries. As a senior pharmacist within the team, the chosen candidates will use leadership skills to support the development of the existing team and clinical service. Also, the successful candidates will take responsibility for areas of chronic disease management within the practice and undertake clinical medication reviews to proactively manage patients with complex polypharmacy.
Interested applicants will need to have completion of an undergraduate degree in pharmacy and registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council, as well as a minimum of 2 years’ experience as a pharmacist, working across clinical settings. Applicants will also need to demonstrate a commitment to leadership, learning and development and an ability to adapt to different working environments.
Working for our organisation
NHFT is an integrated primary care and mental health Trust, providing physical, mental health and specialty services in both hospital settings and out in the community. Because we put the person at the centre of all we do, we focus on delivering care that is as easy to access as possible. This means many of our services can be provided at home, work or in schools. We also provide health services to various prisons and detention centres in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
