The hospital is a tertiary centre for Cardiothoracics, Trauma, Renal Transplant, Opthalmology, Neuro ITU, Neurosurgery, Interventional radiology and Hepatology.
We are a forward-thinking department, which values our responsibility within the hospital and region. The department is large with over 150 staff. We are always excited to welcome and develop the future generation of pharmacists. We care about our trainees and ensuring the right development environment.
We offer opportunities for summer placements in July and September. You can find out more about these via the Pharmacy Workforce Development SOUTH page.
In 2024, we will be offering 15 foundation trainee placements with a mixture of hospital only and some cross-sectors programmes. You can see a sample timetable below

During the hospital programme you will experience a variety of clinical experience from our breadth of services. For cross-sector, you will spend a minimum of 13 weeks with either our PCN (GP) partners, community pharmacy, Mental Health at Livewell and elective surgery centre. You will receive regular support throughout your training year: your wellbeing and career is important to us.
We recruit via ORIEL and work with Health Education England (NHS England) to provide your comprehensive training programme. Part of your training will include (regional) local learning sets where you will meet other trainees within the Peninsula and have the opportunity to network with other peers.
After your training year, you will without doubt want to join our PROPEL programme, to continue to develop and progress your career in Britain's Ocean City!
The 2024 placements will be advertised at Oriel.
