They will provide unit leadership, development, updating and delivery for pharmacy postgraduate students studying Independent Prescribing at Bath and also regionally in collaboration with the University of the West of England. Specifically, they will ensure that our learning resources and learning approach is suitable for supporting the development of non-medical prescribers in all sectoral settings.

The successful applicant will work within an experienced team to support the teaching and learning of our postgraduate students across a range of units.
