Trosolwg o'r swydd
As the demand for cancer care continues to grow, our vision continues to be to deliver excellence in pharmacy services to patients at Royal Surrey Cancer Centre.
We are pleased to offer this opportunity for an enthusiastic Pharmacist to join the specialist clinical pharmacy team in the Cancer Centre. The successful applicant would join a supportive and experienced team of specialist clinical pharmacy staff who provide a comprehensive service to oncology, haemato-oncology and surgical oncology patients.
The base for the role will be the Royal Surrey Cancer Centre which is within Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust in Guildford. As a regional cancer centre, there is expertise in a wide range of cancers, and services are offered to patients across Surrey and the South East. Outreach services are delivered in collaboration with neighbouring acute trusts as well as a mobile treatment unit service. The Royal Surrey SACT Protocols and Policies provide the basis for off-trial treatment. There is also a strong portfolio of clinical research.
You would liaise with the team in the dispensary (RSCH Pharmacy Ltd) and aseptic unit but this role does not include any direct responsibility in these areas.
Previous experience in haematology/oncology is desirable but not essential. We would endeavour to support any relevant personal/career development training when in post.
