As a motivated professional with excellent time management you'll enjoy working with people of a like mind towards a common goal. You'll have a clear focus on pharmacy practice (both operational and clinical) to enable the ongoing and successful support of MedChart. You will be a link between the hospital clinical teams and the information technology team so being clinically connected to our wide variety of users to understand their needs is important. Flexibility is important in managing your workload in conjunction with the other MedChart team members to ensure training needs of users across all sites are covered.
About you
We are looking for a registered Pharmacist with three plus years clinical experience who is a natural working with and as part of a team, someone who has excellent time management skills and a very high standard of ethical and professional practice.
