We’d be keen for you to further develop that team and to expand non-medical prescribing roles and advanced practice within the specialty.

Working for our organisation

Nottingham Children’s Hospital serves children and young people from birth to 19 years of age. We have 97 beds and care for around 40,000 children each year from Nottinghamshire and beyond, treating a full range of conditions. These include:

Planned treatment and surgery

Emergency surgical/medical treatment

Burns and plastics

Neurology

Oncology

Cleft lip and palate

Paediatric Critical Care

Renal medicine and transplantation

Spinal and orthopaedics

Neonatology

The Pharmacy Department at NUH, despite its large size, is a dynamic, friendly and supportive place to work. For much of the role though, you will be working within a smaller team of experienced Paediatric Pharmacists, and will also become part of a team of other Pharmacists teaching undergraduate medical students.

The post offers exceptional career building opportunities in one of the UKs largest and busiest acute NHS teaching hospital Trusts.
