Job Opportunities
The pharmacy department encourages pre-registration trainee pharmacists to remain after registration and a significant number of our trainees have stayed with the Trust after completing their pre-registration training year.
The pre-registration year is viewed as the foundation year of a three-year training programme, with pharmacists progressing to the clinical diploma. Pharmacists are encouraged to explore their interests with further training.
Completing your training in a department that offers a wide range of specialities gives you a broad background of clinical knowledge which will allow you to progress in many different directions in your future career.
