Torridge Health has an exciting opportunity for a full time Clinical Pharmacist to work across the GP practices within their Primary Care Network. The successful candidate will join our current team of 2 Clinical Pharmacists and will work primarily with the practices in Torrington and Hartland.
North Devon is a great place to live and work. Outdoor activities such as surfing, walking, cycling and sailing are easily accessible via the beautiful countryside and world-class beaches on your doorstep. It is no coincidence that so many of the people working in our practices chose this area after living in Australia and New Zealand.
Torridge Health is a forward thinking Primary Care Network across 6 sites in North Devon. We pride ourselves on our innovative approach to primary care. We have a long history of collaboration and are now a newly formed Primary Care Network.
We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic and professional individual with a good clinical background, who is organised and confident to work independently and as part of a team, with the ability to prioritise workload. Applicants will be computer literate, have excellent communication skills, and be able to travel across our various Network sites for service provision. Knowledge of SystmOne and Ardens would be an advantage.
We would welcome applications from pharmacists working in all sectors of pharmacy. The successful candidate will have a degree in pharmacy. A post-graduate diploma or higher degree in clinical pharmacy is desirable. A comprehensive programme of training will be provided as part of the pilot scheme. The successful candidate is required to undertake the independent prescribing course to become a non-medical prescriber and (if not held) the post-graduate diploma course in clinical pharmacy and is expected to work across Network practices after 6-month training in the Lead Practice.
