Associate Professor in Pharmacy - Swansea, United Kingdom - Swansea University

Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

An Associate Professor with expertise in Clinical Pharmacy and/or Pharmacy Practice is being sought to help lead MPharm curriculum development and delivery, helping to fully prepare graduates for their expanding clinical roles within the pharmacy workforce. Applicants will typically be GPhC-registered pharmacists, ideally with independent prescriber annotation, however, pharmacists registered overseas, GPhC-registered pharmacy technicians, or non-pharmacists with significant pharmacy experience can also be considered if they meet the person specification criteria.

The Swansea curriculum incorporates inter‐professional education, public and patient involvement, enhanced placement learning and clinical skills, all underpinned by fundamental scientific principles and supported by a digital thread to form an integrated programme that is at the vanguard of pharmacy education, science, and practice. For this reason, it would be advantageous if applicants are able to make contributions to integrated teaching across other subject themes, e.g. pharmacology and therapeutics, pharmaceutics, or pharmaceutical chemistry. You will work closely with colleagues in the Practice of Pharmacy Teaching Group, and you will also play an important role in community stakeholder involvement and relationship building, particularly amongst placement partners and patient and public volunteers.

It is our intention to help students become pharmacists who are leaders in their profession, be that through the clinical management of patients, the discovery and development of new medicines or through improved community health. Our aim is to develop a course that will meet the current and future needs of the pharmacy profession in Wales, inspire and attract ambitious students, and support the long-term ambitions of the Pharmacy: Delivering a Healthier Wales vision.

You'll be joining a friendly and encouraging community of pharmacy academics and a wider group of supportive healthcare professional colleagues across the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science. Swansea is a great place to live and work, the gateway to the Gower with its fantastic beaches and close to the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons).
