We’re looking for a passionate pharmacist to join our Cancer Care team to deliver safe, efficient, and effective pharmaceutical services across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings. In this role, you’ll provide specialised pharmacy services including drug therapy monitoring, medication reviews, adverse reaction management, and patient counselling to ensure optimal medication management.
