A Hospital Pharmacy Career
Pharmacy jobs are in no short supply; in fact it may be one of the few industries where the supply outweighs the demand.
Hospital pharmacy departments vary widely in size from very large to quite small, with the average department having around 10 - 15 pharmacists, with 30 or so supporting staff - pharmacy technicians, assistants and administrative staff, to enable the pharmacists to carry out their professional roles.
Working in a hospital means not only being in the pharmacy. You will be part of the healthcare tea
, working closely with all other healthcare professionals, providing advice and supporting them in their roles. You will consider the individual patients needs, and spend time with patients making sure that they get the optimum benefit from their medicines.
The benefits of hospital pharmacy are:
* Direct involvement in patient care; influencing treatment choices by being involved in decision making at the point of prescribing; making a difference to the patient; a sense of contribution
* Being part of a number of teams; extensive social and professional networks in the pharmacy and throughout the hospital
* Support from fellow pharmacists and colleagues is always available
* The opportunity to get input from, observe, and work with, several pharmacists rather than just one role model, enabling you to formulate your own preferred practice
* A clearly defined pharmacy career structure with opportunities to develop in a range of skills which may include technical, clinical, education or management positions.
* Recognition of your expertise in whatever pharmacy career you choose; acknowledgement of your achievements; pharmacists and pharmacy services are highly valued by colleagues and management
* Continuing professional and pharmacy career development
