Job description
Job Summary
Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust (LWH) and Alder Hey Children's Hospital are working in partnership to change and improve how neonatal services are delivered to families across the Northwest. Improvements have already been made to the way neonatal care is being delivered, including colleagues from both hospitals working more closely together across both sites under the formation of the Liverpool Neonatal Partnership (LNP). The Neonatal Unit at Liverpool Women's Hospital has also been recently redeveloped and a newly built Neonatal Intensive and High Dependency Care Unit opened in 2020. The next phase in the development is a new 22 cot Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (SNICU) at Alder Hey. The unit is expected to be open at the end of 2026. As post holder, you will cover 12 months maternity leave and support neonatal services in Liverpool across both sites under the partnership. You will become part of the well-established multidisciplinary team and will be involved in the delivery of core pharmacy and enhanced clinical services to the neonatal speciality. If you share our commitment to provide excellent healthcare for women, babies and their families in a safe, friendly and caring environment, and share our values, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

Main duties of the job
The post holder will work closely with senior colleagues within LWH and Alder Hey pharmacy departments and the Liverpool Neonatal Partnership, to deliver and develop the clinical pharmacy service. When the new unit opens the post holder will support the day to day organisation of the clinical pharmacy services for medical and surgical neonates at Liverpool Women's and Alder Hey Children's Hospital; participate in the multidisciplinary ward rounds to provide an advanced clinical service; and liaise with the relevant medical and nursing staff to promote safe, effective and cost effective use of medication in neonatology.

We have some of the leading experts in their field, which has been showcased on national TV and news, making our teams famous across the world for professionalism, skill & compassion. As well as developing services on our current site we have long-term aspirations for the future. By working in partnership with Alder Hey Children's Hospital, we will be able to provide the very best neonatology and surgical expertise, ensuring the highest standards of care and the best clinical outcomes for young babies and their families.
