The post holders will be part of the wider clinical pharmacy team providing pharmacy services to patients across all disease groups but will work predominantly within the designated oncology disease group supervising Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapies for oncology patients

The post holder will be accountable for the delivery of specialist clinical pharmacy services, supporting the cancer disease group in conjunction with other specialist pharmacists within the group, and have an active role in prescribing in the outpatient clinic setting. As such the postholder must ideally possess an independent prescribing qualification or at least be working towards this qualification. We have numerous pharmacists integrated into the outpatient clinic setting working in collaboration with the MDT, including several pharmacist led SACT clinics. We are keen to expand this model depending on service and disease group requirements. The postholder will have an integral role within the MDT team and contribute to service delivery, new initiatives and development / review of drug protocols including new NICE approved SACT within the disease group.

The Pharmacy Department actively supports several collaborative projects alongside several research partners and has strong links with the University of Manchester. Several members of our staff have undertaken post graduate training, research and other secondment opportunities and we are keen to support further opportunities.

To deliver and evaluate clinical pharmacy services to the designated disease group cancer patients.

To supervise and prescribe Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapies and supportive treatments for patients being treated within the relevant disease group.

To develop and maintain highly specialist knowledge in medicines used within the Trust especially in relation to the designated cancer disease group.

To promote the safe, efficient, and cost-effective use of medicine resources to the designated cancer disease group by the provision of education and training, procedures, policies and guidelines, and medicine usage information.

To contribute to the wider clinical pharmacy service for patients being treated across all disease groups.

Although the pharmacy service is based at The Christie Hospital main site, postholders may be required to work at any location across the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Cancer Network. The Trust has a flexible working policy and, subject to service commitments, it may also be possible to support an element of working from home.

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country.

We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years.

We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.

This is a unique opportunity to work with us and contribute to the challenging and rewarding specialty of oncology pharmacy.
