Lecturer (TSPP) in Clinical Skills & Prescribing

At Teesside University, we are ambitious in our goals, vision and aspirations. We challenge expectations and push the boundaries of what is possible. From transforming our campus through a £300m investment and capital development programme, to creating outstanding, innovative academic programmes, our work is always relevant and purpose-driven.

We believe that innovation powers our steps and are motivated to make a difference through positive social impact. We work in partnership with individuals and businesses to devise creative solutions not limited by imagination. We work at pace, and are always future-facing, with our teaching, learning and research focused on addressing the challenges of tomorrow, today. We do not stand still.

Teesside University is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and forward-thinking pharmacist educator to support the continued development of our innovative MPharm programme and pharmacist independent prescribing provision.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing and ambitious team at a pivotal stage in the development of pharmacy education within the region. The successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of clinical skills teaching, prescribing education, simulation and practice-based learning across undergraduate and postgraduate pharmacy programmes.

We are particularly interested in applicants who are passionate about:

• developing clinically confident future pharmacists
• contemporary prescribing education
• simulation and experiential learning
• integrated pharmacy curricula
• patient-centred consultation skills
• interprofessional and practice-focused education

The role will involve teaching and assessment across the MPharm programme, contribution to OSCEs and clinical skills delivery, and support for the implementation and growth of pharmacist independent prescribing education.

We welcome applications from GPhC registered pharmacists from all backgrounds: community, hospital, primary care, GP practice, specialist services, prescribing practice or academia who are keen to shape the future pharmacy workforce within the North East and beyond.

At Pharmacy@TU, we are building a modern, integrated and practice-focused pharmacy programme designed around the future needs of patients, healthcare systems and the profession.

If supporting the next generation of pharmacy students to meet the new educational standards, and helping develop the resilience of prescribing within the pharmacy arena is an ambition you could help meet, then reach out to the Pharmacy team at Teesside University for an informal discussion about joining our team at s.weston@tees.ac.uk.
