We have an exciting opportunity for a Lead Oncology & Haematology Pharmacist to join our Pharmacy Leadership Team at The Harborne Hospital in Birmingham.
This is a senior leadership role within a world-class hospital environment, working alongside leading consultants and multidisciplinary teams to deliver outstanding patient care.

Alongside your specialist remit, you will provide line management and professional leadership to pharmacists and pharmacy staff across both oncology and non-oncology services.
