Clinical Pharmacist – Hospital Based - Merseyside

Clinical Pharmacists - Duty & Assessment Overview

Hospital pharmacists in the NHS are responsible for dispensing and procuring medicines and supplies for hospitals, health centres, care facilities, clinics, nursing homes, and GP surgeries. They may also be involved in manufacturing, developing, testing, supplying, and monitoring the effectiveness of hospital medicines. You will need to have ward experience also.

Here are some of the responsibilities of hospital pharmacists:

Patient care

Provide advice to patients on how to take their medicines, potential side effects, and drug therapy. They may also help patients who are having trouble taking their medication by working with other healthcare professionals and discussing treatments with patients' relatives, community pharmacists, and GPs.

Prescription management

Prescribe and check prescriptions for errors, and advise on the most appropriate form of medication. They may also help patients discharge by transferring information to primary care and coordinating ongoing treatment monitoring.

Medication safety

Participate in ward rounds to take patient drug histories and ensure safe and effective medication use. They may also check patients' drugs for suitability to reuse and report medication errors and near misses.

Medicine-related issues

Identify medicine-related issues and work to reduce hospital admissions and readmissions.

Hospital pharmacists should have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be able to work well in a team, and pay attention to detail.
