Independent Prescribing Clinical Pharmacist

Brocklebank Group Practice

Information:

This job is now closed

Job summary

We are looking for a qualified Independent Prescribing Clinical Pharmacist to join our existing team. Sessions negotiable, based on a 4 or 5 day working week. The post includes an attractive salary, study, annual leave and NHS pension.

We have already had several years of experience working with clinical pharmacists so know what great benefit they bring to our patient care and are a valuable part of the clinical team.

Main duties of the job

You must be an independent prescriber, have a clinical background, be self-motivated and work well as part of a large team. Previous experience of working in a GP practice is desirable but not essential.

You will be computer-literate, confident in working independently and as part of a team, able to prioritise workload and willing to take on responsibility for decision-making.

About us

Our practices serve a combined list of 30,000 patients under a single partnership in one PCN. Each has its own patient list and characteristics. We team up for peer support and education, with common back-office systems and team members who work across or in more than one practice. In this way, we achieve more together than we could separately.

We provide structured induction and mentoring in a supportive environment and with exposure to a broad spectrum of clinical work and innovative practice. There will be opportunity to work with our other clinical pharmacists and to have contact with other pharmacists working within Wandsworth Borough.
