We’re seeking an experienced, forward-thinking pharmacist to lead workforce transformation at the Royal London Hospital. This senior role involves shaping pharmacy education, training, and career development, supporting strategic workforce planning across Barts Health and the wider Integrated Care System (ICS).

2. Design structured training and career pathways.
3. Oversee high-quality pre-registration training aligned with GPhC and NHSE standards.
