Full Job Description

An excellent opportunity for a pharmacist with a passion for improving the lives of those experiencing mental health conditions has arisen at AWP. This role requires a dynamic, enthusiastic pharmacist with good communication skills, to integrate themselves into both the pharmacy team and the clinical teams, with a base in the Bristol area. Whilst previous mental health experience is beneficial, AWP has established training and induction programmes for pharmacists joining us from other sectors. This role would suit a pharmacist looking to move from an acute Trust, ICB or PCN willing to develop their mental health clinical skills. The role involves working with healthcare professionals including nurses, doctors and AHPs within inpatient and community teams, as well as colleagues in primary care. The role will focus on collaborative working, supporting the Locality Lead Pharmacist to improve the AWP clinical pharmacy service securing better outcomes for our patients. The post holder will work closely with clinical pharmacists in different localities, lead pharmacy technicians and the senior pharmacy leadership to develop and deliver the Medicines Optimisation agenda. The role will be based at Callington Road Hospital, Bristol; however, there will be the need to travel to other sites within the AWP geography. Remote clinical cover to other clinical services within AWP will also be required, and discussed on appointment to role.,

  • Provision of a clinical pharmacy service to inpatient wards and community teams across the Bristol and South Glos localities.
  • Provision of specialist pharmaceutical expertise to MDTs and answering of medicines information enquiries.
  • Attend multidisciplinary rounds, team meetings and ward rounds
  • Participation in the education and training of all grades of staff within the Trust on issues concerned with medicines.
  • Provide advice and information about medicines to service users and carers
  • Participate in audits and projects to review and improve the pharmacy service
  • The AWP pharmacy service supplies medication and provides clinical support to wards and teams across our core catchment area. We have two dispensaries: one in Calne (Wiltshire) and one at Callington Road Hospital (Bristol). As well as managing the medicines supply chain in the trust, we support the safe and effective use of medicines throughout the organisation through our clinical work, enquiry answering, medicines governance activity and many other roles. The team are friendly, dynamic and evolving, with aspirations to improve patient care across the AWP geography. Support from other experienced mental health pharmacists and technicians is always available.

    We operate a weekend and bank holiday pharmacy service from both dispensaries. This is approximately 1 in 18. There is also an on-call pharmacy service out of hours, which the successful candidate will participate in. We are AWP (Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust) a diverse organisation with over 5,000 dedicated staff providing inpatient and community-based mental health care. We provide services from a range of locations to approximately 1.8 million people living in Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES), Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon, across the county of Wiltshire and in parts of Dorset. Our outstanding people promote mental health and wellbeing. The expertise and resources within AWP are dedicated to a person-centred approach for those who use our services and for all employees.
