Description

As part of our commitment to the continued expansion of medical, pharmaceutical and health sciences at Bangor University, the newly formed North Wales Medical School seeks to appoint a Senior Lecturer or Reader in Pharmacy Practice/Clinical Pharmacy to contribute to the development of our proposed MPharm degree programme.

This post is advertised through either a Research-focussed (T&R) or Teaching-focussed (T&S) route and dependent on experience and potential, the successful applicant may be appointed as either a Senior Lecturer or Reader.

We are looking for an outstanding individual to contribute to the development and delivery of a newly planned MPharm programme at Bangor University.

The new programme will align with the GPhC's new Standards for Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists.

This is a time of real opportunity for pharmacy education in North Wales and we are looking for an experienced, registered pharmacist to lead on the development and delivery of the curriculum in clinical pharmacy and pharmacy practice.

You will be an experienced educator with a track record of research or scholarly achievements who seeks the excitement of being part of a pioneering team.

We aim to provide significant experiential teaching and part of your role will be to design placement activities with partners including the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Health Education and Improvement Wales.

Whilst expertise in any aspect of pharmacy practice or clinical pharmacy is welcomed, additional experience of independent prescribing (practice or teaching).

Working with the Professional Body (GPhC) on curriculum development or programme recognition is particularly desirable. Research opportunities currently focus around medicines use and optimisation, personalised medicines, pharmaceutical economics, policy and prescribing.

The ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable for this post.

Applications will also be considered to carry out this role on a part-time or job share basis.
