• Independent prescribing consultations
• Additional advanced and innovative services as the pharmacy continues to grow

• Be comfortable creating professional, patient-friendly videos and educational content
• Be organised, reliable and willing to take ownership
• Be a positive team leader who encourages high standards

Applications are welcomed from experienced Independent Prescribers as well as newly qualified Independent Prescribing Pharmacists who can demonstrate the right attitude, clinical confidence and ambition to develop.
