Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

Pharmacy teams based in primary care play a key role in the delivery of the NHS long term plan and medicines optimisation goals. NHS Devon has, for many years, recognised the value of having both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians supporting GP practices, so there is an expectation that this post holder will build relationships and work closely with Primary Care Networks and their pharmacists, as well as other system colleagues to support the delivery of national and locally agreed medicines optimisation priorities.  

 

In return for your commitment, enthusiasm, and professionalism, we can offer a friendly and supportive environment. We promote skill mix in the workplace and aim to recognise key strengths of individual team members. The post provides an excellent opportunity to gain experience and knowledge of delivering many facets of medicines optimisation in primary care and the wider Devon system.
