• Processing clinical letters – turning paperwork into action.
• Supporting audits & medicines optimisation – helping reduce waste and improve care.
• Contributing to cost-effective prescribing – because smart choices matter.

• Have worked as a Dispenser in GP Practice or busy community pharmacy OR are a registered Pharmacy Technician
• Have an eagle eye for detail – accuracy is your superpower.
• Communicate like a pro – clear, confident, and collaborative.
• Love problem-solving – turning challenges into solutions excites you.
