What You’ll Do
Unlike community pharmacy, where the focus is often on volume and retail, hospital pharmacy offers a dynamic, fast-paced environment where precision and collaboration are key, and your decisions will have a direct impact on the treatment outcomes of patients.
  
As a Hospital Pharmacist, you’ll work closely with Clinicians, Nurses, and Technicians, manage specialised medications, and play a key role in patient care from diagnosis through to treatment and recovery. It’s a career move that’s not just a step forward - it’s a leap into a more professional, specialised, and impactful future.
  
Key Responsibilities

• Conducting medication chart reviews and medication reconciliation
• Dispensing and supplying medication and pharmacy products
• Coordinating patient medication requirements for inpatient stay, day infusions and discharge
• Developing and maintaining professional relationships with key stakeholders to ensure excellent customer service to clients and patients
• Supporting patients, carers, hospital staff and associated employees
• Educating and advising staff and customers on health promotion, disease prevention, drug selection and the quality use of medicines

 
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for a Pharmacist who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative clinical environment and brings a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and a patient-centred mindset. In this specialised setting, high-pressure situations are not uncommon, so strong communication skills and the ability to prioritise effectively are essential.
  
You don’t need prior Hospital Pharmacy experience to qualify for this role as full training and mentorship will be provided by our experience team. Early career Pharmacists looking for their first role in hospital pharmacy are encouraged to apply.
