Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust and George Eliott NHS Trust to shape the implementation of its new EPR system (Oracle Millennium). We are seeking a hands‑on and passionate pharmacist to join the digital pharmacy team and help drive transformative change in pharmacy practice through innovative informatics.

Your insights will guide the development and implementation of the EPR systems, bridging the gap between pharmacy and healthcare technology. You'll leverage your expertise to optimise electronic prescribing and medication administration aspects of the EPR system, ensuring seamless integration within clinical workflows as part of a multidisciplinary team, ultimately enhancing the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of medication processes to improve patient outcomes.

If you are interested in clinical informatics, and have a passion for medicines safety, this is your opportunity to make a real impact on patient care and pharmacy services. The Specialist Pharmacist Digital Medicines will work as part of the digital pharmacy team supporting the Joint Lead Pharmacy Information Officer in a multidisciplinary team tasked with implementing the Joint Oracle EPR (JEPR) system and supporting its implementation across the JEPR network that will exist between University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire (UHCW), George Eliott NHS Trust (GEH) and South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT).

The post holder will support the pharmaceutical aspects of the project; primarily reviewing, configuring and testing of the JEPR systems across both GEH and SWFT NHS Trusts. Ultimately supporting the system rollout, as well as its ongoing maintenance and development across the JEPR network. This will involve application of the skills and knowledge of a specialist pharmacist to ensure that the systems development meets the broader needs of the pharmacy department and covers aspects of clinical governance, accountability and patient safety relating to medication administration and medicines management both in pharmacy and across the Trust.

Where required, the post holder will support the integration, development and maintenance of the Trust’s existing pharmacy digital systems such as the Prescription Tracking and WellSky dispensing system in collaboration with the digital pharmacy team and wider pharmacy services.

Come and join an Outstanding-rated Trust. South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust has been rated as outstanding following our latest inspection by the CQC and we are recruiting new staff to help us improve even further.

We provide services across Warwickshire and beyond ranging from hospitals in Warwick, Stratford‑upon‑Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Shipston‑on‑Stour to community services across the county. We are a progressive, expanding organisation with great ambition around improving quality, integrating pathways and delivering high levels of productivity. Our values can be summed up in one sentence: we are ‘Trusted to provide safe, inclusive, effective and compassionate care’. Throughout the recruitment process you will be asked to think about how you demonstrate these values and how they impact your work.
