Faculty/Directorate

You will join a truly innovative School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, with a suite of postgraduate programmes, a fully integrated MPharm based on Team-Based Learning (TBL) and excellence in research.

The FTC are pioneers of innovative education and training for the pharmacy workforce and share a desire to improve the quality of pharmacy education.

• These study days are a mix of face-to-face and online and will be delivered across the North of England. The postholder will therefore be required to travel to deliver the face-to-face days.
• The post holder will contribute to teaching professional and clinical practice, help to develop, deliver and assess training packages, modules and short courses to enable trainee and registered pharmacists to develop their skills.
