If you want a career where everyday is different then hospital pharmacy might be the option for you!

Hospital pharmacy can be a fast-paced and exciting area ​with a good mixture of patient-facing and clinical exposure. 

Undertaking your training in a hospital offers significant benefits.  You will be working within a large multidisciplinary team which will allow you to learn from experts and experience a wide range of challenges.

Working within a large and vibrant pharmacy team will allow you to gain experience from pharmacists and technicians working in a variety of clinical settings, including those in specialist roles.  Close links with other hospitals within the Midlands region will provide you with a supportive network.
