I'm Gemma, I'm the Chief Pharmacy Technician and Operational Manager for Oxford health NHS Foundation Trust.

I'm incredibly lucky to be able to lead our hard working, supportive and dedicated Pharmacy Team, in providing a medicines supply and optimisation service to patients within Oxford health NHS Foundation Trust.

You will be able to work effectively alone and as part of a team.

You must be an excellent communicator with outstanding interpersonal and relationship building skills. You will need to be forward thinking and enthusiastic, with a commitment to continuing professional and department development.

The Pharmacy technician role will be varied when supporting the Dispensary.

We currently provide Pharmacy services to Mental Health Units, Community Hospitals and other community-based services.
