Assistant Head of Pharmacy – Production Services

The Pharmacy Department at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) is seeking an exceptional, highly experienced pharmacist to manage and lead a team of 65 staff to deliver pharmacy production services to both NUH patients and service users and external customers. NUH has four production units. The MHRA licensed Sterile Production Unit, Non-Sterile Manufacturing Unit and Pharmacy Packing Unit are based at the Queens Medical Centre Campus. The unlicensed Cytotoxic Chemotherapy Production Unit is based at the City Hospital Campus.

It is an exciting time of change in the Pharmacy Production department. Following the approval of a business case to increase the number of operational staff, procure additional compounding equipment and over-labelling equipment, and to facilitate the training of Qualified Persons, the post holder will lead the team and service to meet its full potential, delivering high quality, cost effective production services to NUH and external customers. In doing so the post-holder will be responsible for:

  • The safety, quality and efficacy of pharmaceutical products prepared, manufactured and assembled in the pharmacy production units
  • Ensuring manufacturing, preparative and storage facilities, staff and procedures meet current standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Good Distribution Practice (GDP).
  • Ensuring all products manufactured, prepared and assembled meet current standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)

The post holder will be the professional lead on all aspects of the production service, including strategic planning, and support the development of hospital staff involved in the preparation, manufacture and quality control of medicinal products. They will ensure appropriate systems are in place to assure the above, be proactive in making recommendations arising from these activities and follow-up on actions taken. In particular you will have responsibility for being named as Production Manager on the site’s MHRA manufacturing specials (MS) licence, investigational medicinal products (MIA(IMP)) manufacturing authorisation and manufacture import assembly authorisation (MIA) used for over-labelling/repacking operations.

As a member of the senior Pharmacy leadership team, the post holder will help develop a strategic vision and delivery plan for the NUH Pharmacy Department and, as a member of the National Production Committee, will be expected to exert influence on the developing strategy for national production services in pharmacy.

We would welcome applications from those interested in flexible working and, for the right candidate, we may be able to offer support towards relocation and dedicated financial resource for personal development.
