Job description

Medicines Management Pharmacy Technician - Primary Care (Whitley Bay Primary Care Network)

We have a great opportunity for pharmacy technicians wishing to develop their careers as part of our progressive team, with a national reputation for innovation and development. Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has a diverse and supportive clinical pharmacy team with a proven track record of providing high quality, patient-centred care. Our pharmacy technicians undertake patient-facing clinical roles, using their skills as part of a multidisciplinary team to support patients across primary and secondary care (hospital, home or care home).

Our team offers a unique clinical, patient-facing role that allows pharmacy technicians to develop or maintain skills within primary care. Full access to acute trust teams and resources will help enable a system-wide approach to patient care, designed around you to make the most of your skill set.

We are looking for an enthusiastic pharmacy technician to support medicines optimisation within Whitley Bay Primary Care Network to help meet their population needs. This clinical, patient-facing role will involve medicines optimisation stewardship, enhancing medicines support for care homes and residents, supporting patients at transitions of care, and providing medicines management support and leadership across the network.

We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck, and Hexham, plus smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, as well as our Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England.

In addition to acute hospital pharmacy services, we provide pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to primary care networks. We also deliver locally commissioned integrated pharmacy services to care homes, frailty, living well with pain, and palliative care. We are one of the best performing NHS organisations in England, focusing on staff experience as well as patient experience.
