This is an exciting time to join the neonatal pharmacy team at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. We have the opportunity to increase our workforce in line with a planned expansion of our two neonatal units. We have funding available for both a full-time and part-time member of staff. So, for the right candidate(s), we will consider all requests for part-time working. Our goal is to align ourselves with national priorities regarding medication safety initiatives in neonates by working towards NPPG standards for pharmacy staffing and playing our part in vital quality improvement work.

The successful candidate(s) will spend the majority of their clinical time covering our neonatal units at Leeds General Infirmary and St James's University Hospital. You will be joining a well embedded team who join daily ward rounds for ICU and HDU level patients, prescribe parenteral nutrition and have a close working relationship with the MDT. There will also be some expectation to provide cross cover to our obstetrics wards as well as offering support to the wider paediatric pharmacy team and regularly contributing to our service rota, including working in our aseptics unit and paediatric warfarin clinic.

Clinical governance and leadership responsibilities to neonates will be divided between the team members at the conclusion of the recruitment process. These responsibilities will include but are not limited to, leading on safe medication usage within your clinical area, research and audit, overseeing safe storage of medicine, education and training, guideline and monograph development and driving quality improvement work.

The Leeds Way is working together to support each other and deliver the best possible care to patients.
