This job also entails:

• Performing thorough maintenance and control of IMP/ API Pharmacy Inventory Management Records, ensuring the continued supply of any pharmacy stock items.
• Supporting reception, use, supply, storage, packaging and disposition of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and IMP

Who you are

• Registered Pharmacy Technician with the General Pharmaceutical Council in the UK
