The Clinical Pharmacy team includes numerous experienced, advanced specialists who support and nurture the junior pharmacists to learn and develop the clinical knowledge, skills, and experience to equip you for a wide range of career options.

The band 7 rotational specialist pharmacist rotation is complimented by an extensive junior pharmacist rotation and our Band 7 to 8a development pathway. We are supportive of flexible working (part time hours can be considered) and although previous postgraduate learning is desirable all our band 7 rotational specialist pharmacists are encouraged and supported to study for a diploma and prescribing qualification if not already obtained.
