Are you a motivated and patient-centred pharmacist looking to develop your specialist clinical practice within Older People's Medicine?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Specialist Clinical Pharmacist to join the Older People's Medicine Pharmacy Team at St James's University Hospital. This rewarding role offers the chance to work within a well-established multidisciplinary team, providing expert pharmaceutical care to older adults with complex health needs.

As part of a supportive and forward-thinking pharmacy department, you will work closely with the MDT to play a key role in optimising medicines for frail older patients, supporting management of polypharmacy, reducing medicines-related harm and improving patient outcomes throughout their journey.

The successful candidate will gain valuable experience working with patients presenting with a wide range of conditions including frailty, dementia, delirium, Parkinson's disease, falls, stroke and complex multimorbidity. You will collaborate with specialist teams across the Trust, helping to deliver high-quality care for some of our most vulnerable patients.

This post offers excellent opportunities for professional development, including leadership experience, service improvement, audit and research activities. You will also contribute to the education and training of trainee pharmacists, foundation pharmacists and members of the wider multidisciplinary team.
