Job description
We are looking for a motivated and forward-thinking Advanced Clinical Pharmacist to work with the Intensive Care Unit and clinical pharmacy team. The ...
Lead and deliver the clinical pharmacy service to the Intensive Care Unit, by providing a highly specialised level of pharmaceutical care. This will include attending ward rounds, carrying out comprehensive medication review using a complex series of data, ensuring that prescriptions are appropriate and safe, arranging supply and using your independent prescribing qualification (where applicable) to optimise patient care.
Contribute to the quality training experience and support for trainee pharmacists, pharmacy students and trainees in the multidisciplinary team.
Work with medical, nursing and the site management team to facilitate patient discharges in order to maximise patient flow.
Take the lead in developing and reviewing local guidelines and policies for ICU.
There's never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital due to open in 2031/32 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.
Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.
At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.
We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.
We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too.
