Summary

As an MMPT, you will provide a comprehensive, patient-centred medicines management and medicines optimisation service across inpatient and community mental health services. You will work autonomously within your scope of practice, taking responsibility for medicines reconciliation and medicines supply, proactively identifying discrepancies, resolving medicines-related problems and helping to reduce delays to treatment and discharge. Patient interaction is central to this role. You will speak directly with patients and carers about their medicines, undertake person-centred medicines consultations, provide tailored medicines counselling and support patients to understand and manage their treatment. You will also play an active role in discharge planning, medicines optimisation and DMS referrals, supporting safer transitions of care between hospital, community pharmacy and other healthcare services. Working closely with pharmacists and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will be an active and visible member of the clinical team, documenting interventions and escalating medicines-related concerns appropriately. You will contribute to medicines governance, accuracy checking, audit, quality improvement and medicines safety initiatives, while also supporting the education and development of trainees, pharmacy colleagues and other healthcare professionals. You will work flexibly to meet the needs of the pharmacy service, including providing reciprocal medicines management cover and supporting services across Trust sites as required. Above all, we are looking for someone who is proactive, patient-focused and enthusiastic about the evolving role of pharmacy technicians, and who wants to help us continue developing an ambitious, high-quality medicines management service.
