Maintenance of stock including ordering of patient-specific High Cost Drugs to ensure patients receive their medication in a timely manner.

We will welcome applications from community based pharmacy assistants with a desire to move into a hospital environment. Experience working in a hospital pharmacy is desirable but not essential. There will be the opportunity for further courses including PTPT qualification.
