An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, self-driven pharmacist to join the Virtual Hospital Team at South & West Hertfordshire Health Care Partnership. 

Our Virtual Hospital Service is a collaborative partnership between West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (WHTH) and Central London Community Health Trust (CLCH). We currently provide care to patients across various pathways such as Heart Failure, Acute Respiratory Infections, Asthma/Bronchiectasis/COPD, Frailty, Post-op surgery and Respiratory Healthcare at Home, and are exploring the expansion of the service to support other specialist pathways in the future.

The team cares for acutely unwell patients in their own homes by preventing unnecessary admissions to hospital or by supporting early discharge from hospital. Remote technology is utilised to support the monitoring and care of these patients at home.

The post holder will provide specialist clinical pharmacy support to the Virtual Hospital, to deliver medicines-related care to patients, support the provision of medicines management services and participate in education and training. 

Joining our team will provide you with opportunities to undertake further study to support your professional development. The post is substantive full time (37.5hrs/week) Monday to Friday. The post includes participation in the weekend, late and bank holiday dispensary rota.
