Registered Accuracy Checking Pharmacy Technician focused on medication safety, stock control, and medicines audits.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Registered Accuracy Checking Pharmacy Technician (ACPT) at Nuffield Health, dispensing private and discharge prescriptions—including controlled drugs—and managing medication stock across theatres, ICU, wards, and multiple clinical departments. I conduct medicines management and stock control audits, complete monthly health and safety (and fire) audits, and ensure medication temperature monitoring compliance for ambient, refrigerated, and frozen medicines. I also train new pharmacy staff on dispensary processes and systems, supporting accurate documentation, reporting, and safe workflows.
Before my current ACPT role, I worked as a Pharmacy Assistant at Nuffield Health and held NHS roles as a Medical Clerk and Administrator, strengthening my approach to record keeping, GDPR compliance, and day-to-day coordination with clinicians and patients. I work with pharmacy systems including PIMS, Proscript, Workday and Check-It, and I’m currently training in IQemo to further strengthen medicines safety and continuous process improvement.
