About the Role
Our pharmacists rotate between clinical areas and dispensary across the year. On wards you’ll be working in the multidisciplinary team, reviewing patient medications, providing clinical advice and information to nursing and medical staff and helping patients and carers adjust to changes in medicine regimens. Working in a regional hospital you'll see a diverse range of patients and conditions while being part of close-knit team. You will be challenged in clinical skills and problem solving as you provide exceptional pharmaceutical care to regional patients.

You will be supported by a network of senior pharmacists, as well as district QUM team and educator. Access to regular education – in person and virtual – is an integral part of our workplace, including in-services, grand rounds and regular district pharmacist education services. For those new to hospital pharmacy, we support you in your transition to the hospital environment.

Where you'll be working
The Pharmacy team here at Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital (TRRH) is an experienced group of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. As well as TRRH, we provide clinical and support services to 12 rural and regional hospitals across the New England North West of NSW.

TRRH is a 300-bed rural referral teaching hospital providing medical (incl. neurology, renal, cardiology, respiratory, gastrointestinal, oncology, rehabilitation), general and specialist surgical, obstetric, paediatric and mental health services. Critical care services include level five ICU, a CCU and one of the busiest regional Emergency Departments in NSW. Outpatient clinics support patients across the region with specialist services.

A key feature of the pharmacy department is the ability to step in – or step up – and assist each other to get jobs done so that we can provide the best care to patients: our families, our friends and our community.

About You

The position is suitable for early career or more experienced pharmacists. As our preferred candidate, you are someone who can to think on the go, with excellent clinical skills and attention to detail; you enjoy problem solving and thinking outside the box. You work independently but are comfortable asking for help and receiving advice from colleagues to achieve exceptional patient care. Our team provides support to grow your skills and experience, so while hospital experience is preferred, experience that provides you with an inquiring mind and desire to further expand your clinical skills is the main requirement.
