• Work collaboratively with other pharmacy colleagues, offering support and advice where required, whilst sharing accurate information in a confidential and timely manner
• Support the Pharmacy Team and Store Manager with the delivery of agreed KPIs
• Be responsible for the safe, effective and legal running of the pharmacy (e.g. clinically checking prescriptions / management of controlled drugs / appropriate staffing levels)
• Follow all Pharmacy Standard Operating Procedures
• Support the completion of all pharmacy audits and any resulting actions/outputs
• Ensure compliance to Pharmacy Data Security & Protection at all times
• Oversee the ordering and replenishment of pharmacy stock and control the sale of medicines, particularly those subject to misuse and abuse
• Report any dispensing errors and near misses
• Act promptly to any stock recall notices / drug alerts
• Build relationships with GPs & other appropriate healthcare professionals in the community
• Use expert knowledge & opportunistic interventions to deliver pharmacy services and sales, whilst complying with any clinical, ethical and professional requirements
