This job is now closed
Job summary
Mersey Internal Audit (MIAA) is adverting the above role on behalf of Southport and Formby Health Ltd.
We are looking to recruit to the post of Pharmacy Technician, to work with pharmacists within our Primary Care Network multidisciplinary healthcare team.
Clinical Pharmacy in General Practice is part of an exciting programme of transformation to develop a new model of care which addresses our ambition to deliver person-centred, coordinated care across the Southport and Formby Primary Care Network. The model is supported by the direction of national policy including the Five Year Forward View and GP Forward View where there is a need to better utilise the role of pharmacy within primary care to pro-actively help patients stay safe and well and out of hospital as well as helping to reduce the demands on general practice.
Interview date will be Tuesday 6th September. We are also open to applications for this role on a part-time basis
Main duties of the job
- Pharmacy technicians play an important role, complementing clinical pharmacists and other members of the PCN multi- disciplinary team. Pharmacy technicians are different to clinical pharmacists as they are not able to prescribe or make clinical decisions, instead working under supervision to ensure effective and efficient use of medicines.
- The post holder will ensure that practices integrate with community and hospital pharmacy to help utilise skill mix, improve patient outcomes, ensure better access to healthcare and help manage workload. The role is pivotal to improving the quality of care and operational efficiencies, so requires motivation and passion to deliver an excellent service within general practice. The post holder will be supported to develop their role and follow the Primary care pharmacy education pathway within the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE).
About us
- We are a GP owned company created to enhance the delivery of healthcare services to people living in Southport and Formby. Our services are provided locally, meaning fewer visits to large, busy hospitals and faster treatment in a convenient location. We’re also flexible, offering extended hours access to a GP during evenings and weekends – recognising that sometimes getting to a daytime appointment just isn’t possible.
- Our member practices share resources to ensure that the services we offer are the best they can be. Since the NHS was created in 1948, the population has grown and people are living longer, often with long term conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. Primary Care Networks (PCNs) were created to meet the growing needs of patients, with GP Practices working with community, mental health, social care, pharmacy, hospital and voluntary services in their local areas.
- Southport and Formby PCN is one of the largest PCNs, with 16 GP Practices caring for a population of around 125,000 people. The services we offer include Enhanced Health in Care Homes, Cancer Link Support, Social Prescribing and Clinical Pharmacists.
- On top of joining an amazing team of people all dedicated to helping the wider community, we can offer you an excellent benefits package as well as a commitment to staff development and wellbeing.
