There’s a lot more to Community Pharmacy in North Wales than you might think. Providing valued services to our patients and communities whilst working within Community Pharmacy is incredibly rewarding. With the new Community Pharmacy contract in Wales (A New Prescription) the sector is transforming into a clinical services provider with independent prescribing Pharmacists at its core. This means that you can use your clinical knowledge and skills to help patients in new ways and work as part of an integrated multidisciplinary team. This is further enhanced by the cross sector roles available in North Wales, where you would spend time working in community pharmacy alongside general practices or hospitals.
As experts in medicines and how they are used, our Community Pharmacy teams work hard to ensure that patients get the maximum benefit from their medicines. As part of the transformational change, you will have an opportunity to be trained as a pharmacist independent prescriber or accuracy checking pharmacy technician, meaning you can use your knowledge and skills effectively to better support your patients through optimising therapy, treating minor illness, or providing other enhanced services.
Much like the population of North Wales, our Community Pharmacy teams are relaxed, friendly and welcoming. Working as primary care clusters, our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians work together with other primary care providers to deliver the best possible care. We run peer support networks for independent prescribers in community pharmacy and cross-sector working at a range of different levels means you’ll be able to grow, learn and develop your skills.
Whether you’re newly qualified or have years of experience, we could have an opportunity for you!
