Higher Level Pharmacy Technician - Cancer Services

You will oversee the effective organisation and prioritisation of workflow within the chemotherapy day unit (CDU) working accurately, efficiently to agreed standards and departmental procedures ensuring work targets are met.

You will also be expected to work closely with the clinical and aseptic pharmacy teams, clinicians, nursing staff and Rowlands outpatient pharmacy supporting the CDU. You will perform various aspects of a clinical pharmacy service where appropriate; this may include, but will not be limited to, stock management, supply of supportive medications, medicines reconciliation and counselling of patients and their medications. There will be times the post holder may be required to escalate complex activities that require allocation of duties, such as stock shortages of oral SACT, which may need communication with procurement for alternative sources, or with consultants for change of plans with treatment; this will require communicating back to the patients.

Support with training and ongoing support/competency assessment will be provided by the Responsible Pharmacist for Technical Services, Advanced Clinical Prescribing Pharmacist and Specialist Pharmacy Technicians for Cancer Services and Aseptic Services.
