Do you want your next role in pharmacy to:

·         Be in a central city full of culture and opportunities to support great work-life balance?

·         Work in a passionate team within a friendly pharmacy department?

·         Collaborate with and be supported by an excellent MDT?

·         Maintain and enhance your clinical knowledge of antimicrobials?

·         Shape the future of a specialist service?

·         Balance autonomous and collaborative multi-disciplinary team working?

·         Maintain/achieve non-medical prescriber (NMP) status?

Our 8a Antimicrobial Pharmacist role combines all the above. 

You will be part of a supportive, experienced antimicrobial pharmacy team, consisting of; at York, an 8B Pharmacist for antimicrobials, 8A Pharmacist for OPAT/HIV and a senior AMS pharmacy technician, and at Scarborough, an 8A senior pharmacist for AMS/OPAT and a senior AMS pharmacy technician. 

You will work alongside other members of the multi-disciplinary AMS teams, to optimise the use of antimicrobials across the Trust, ensuring that excellent patient care and medication safety is at the forefront of all decision making.

While pre-existing knowledge of antimicrobials, OPAT and HIV would be an advantage, we welcome applications from pharmacists able to demonstrate strong transferable skills. 

Being an established non-medical prescriber (NMP) would be ideal but not essential for the role. Any candidate not currently a NMP would be supported through the process.
