At Hunter New England Local Health District (HNELHD), enjoy a career where you're challenged by interesting work and surrounded by spectacular locations. Join the team enriching health in millions of ways every day:

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.

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.

You work independently but are comfortable asking for help and receiving advice from colleagues to achieve exceptional patient care.
