Following departmental re-design a senior pharmacist is required to manage and provide clinical pharmacy services based at Roodlands Hospital, Haddington.
East Lothian CHP provides services to elderly patients, including acute admission, assessment and rehabilitation and to psychiatric patients including out-patient and psychiatry of old age in patients. The postholder will provide a well-established, high quality clinical pharmacy service to this group of patients. Key areas for patient focused pharmaceutical care include medicines reconciliation, systematic identification and resolution of individual pharmaceutical care issues, provision of seamless care, provision of a medicines information service and patient counselling. We will also be moving into a new hospital in 2019.
The postholder will also manage the pharmacy department on a day to day basis and lead the pharmacy team of pharmacists and technicians based at East Lothian Community Hospital. The successful provision of all these services relies on working within a multidisciplinary team of which pharmacy is a valued member. The postholder will also have close links with other members of the clinical pharmacy team in NHS Lothian.
If you are enthusiastic, work well as part of a team and have the vision to develop the pharmacist’s role, then this post will suit your skills.
