We're excited to welcome a Pharmacist Senior - Ready for Surgery Team (RfST) to our Pharmacy Department.

This position will be responsible for providing high level pharmaceutical services to surgical pre-admission outpatients as part of the Pharmacy Critical Care and Surgical Services Team.

The position will ensure the safe, effective, judicious use of medicines across the continuum of care, whilst remaining compliant with relevant regulatory statues and promoting the efficient use of public resources.

Key Responsibilities include

• Exercise independent judgement and problem-solving skills, in matters beyond routine practice, using valid and reliable evidence, with infrequent clinical practice supervision.
• Provide high level clinical advice to diverse stakeholders, including provision of a medication record, medication counselling and a medication management plan where appropriate to the patient's GP, community pharmacy, continuity of care co-ordinators, case managers and Residential Care Facilities.
• Document clinical activities, incidents and interventions, consistent with the general documentation and reporting requirements of the department.
• Contribute to the development of practices, procedures, and protocols.
