Checking Technician

What if your next role helped make sure every prescription is right, every time?

As a Checking Technician, you'll play a vital role in making sure our patients receive their medicines safely and accurately. Using your pharmacy knowledge and professional judgement, you'll carry out final accuracy checks on dispensed prescriptions, making sure the medication, labelling, dosage and patient information are correct before they reach the patient.

It's a role where your attention to detail really matters. You'll review prescriptions, identify and resolve anomalies, check medicines against pharmacy and regulatory requirements, and work closely with colleagues and prescribers to make sure any concerns are addressed safely and efficiently.

Alongside checking prescriptions, you'll support the wider pharmacy team by maintaining high standards of quality and safety, helping with stock management and providing guidance on the safe and effective use of prescribed medicines. You'll also play an important part in maintaining patient confidentiality and creating a professional, organised pharmacy environment.

Where accuracy, knowledge and patient safety come together

• Carrying out thorough final accuracy checks to ensure prescriptions, medication, labelling, dosage and patient information are correct.
• Reviewing prescriptions to identify anomalies, incomplete information or potential medication interactions, working with colleagues and prescribers to resolve concerns.
• Ensuring medicines meet pharmacy, regulatory and safety requirements while maintaining high standards of quality control and patient confidentiality.
• Using your pharmacy knowledge to provide guidance on the safe and effective use of prescribed medicines and support colleagues when needed.
• Supporting stock management, quality checks and the wider running of the pharmacy, helping to maintain a safe, organised and efficient service.

If you're a qualified pharmacy professional who takes pride in getting every detail right, uses sound judgement and is passionate about patient safety, this could be an opportunity to make a real difference through the quality and accuracy of the care you provide.
