Senior Clinical Pharmacist – Surgical Specialties

A Vacancy at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and enthusiastic clinical pharmacist with excellent clinical and interpersonal skills to support a high-quality service to the Surgical Specialist Division based at Westmoreland Street. The post is part-time, and offers scope for flexible working, as part of the wider UCLH Pharmacy team.

You will work as part of the Surgical Specialties multidisciplinary team (MDT), delivering the highest quality service for both inpatients and outpatients, alongside the Thoracic and Urology consultants, clinical fellows, clinical nurse specialists, dietitians and other healthcare professionals.

UCH at Westmoreland Street offers comprehensive care for a spectrum of Urology and Thoracic services and is split into six sub-groups. The teams work closely together, along with other services such as the Assisted Conception Unit and Uro-radiology. Where possible, you will work to develop and enhance our existing systems, particularly where efficiency and productivity can be improved through our Electronic Health Records System, Epic, and the development of GP Connect.

You will work as part of our broader clinical pharmacy team and contribute to local and national initiatives to develop and enhance the pharmacy service. You will also contribute to the delivery of educational and developmental programmes, including the Diploma in General Pharmacy Practice, and our rotational programme for band 7 clinical pharmacists.

Your duties will include collaborating closely with the theatres, anaesthetics and pre- assessment teams, providing specialist advice to optimise patient care. You will use your non-medical prescribing skills in both the inpatient and outpatient setting to optimise the prescribing of specialist and supportive care medications.

The successful candidate will be joining the largest and most prestigious urology department in the UK. We are a highly specialist team, seeing referrals from across the country and internationally. As a centre for excellence and research, you will have an opportunity to contribute to service development and quality improvement projects within urology and thoracic surgery teams.

Additional management and leadership responsibilities for the Surgical Specialties Division include governance, medicines expenditure analysis and reporting, audit and service evaluation, multi-professional education and training, and other strategic projects as required. You will also represent the UCLH Pharmacy Department at directorate and divisional clinical governance meetings.
