Outpatient Pharmacy Reception Volunteer (Wednesday AM - 09:00 - 13:00 hours)

Volunteers are a really important part of the team at MKUH, supporting patients and staff across the hospital, helping us do more.

At MKUH, giving your time helps make a big difference to our patients’ lives. Having volunteers enables us to do more, whether that is time to spend with patients, or helping give our teams extra capacity. Volunteers are vital in helping the Trust deliver the highest quality healthcare possible to our many patients.

Volunteering is also an excellent opportunity for people to give back to their local hospital and to help make a real difference.

The Outpatient Pharmacy department is a small team fulfilling prescriptions from all outpatient clinics. You will be supporting the team in accepting hospital prescriptions, using the PTS system to log prescriptions on the tracking system, creating prescription stickers for office and patient use, 'close' the prescriptions on the system once they are collected. This support will free the Outpatient Pharmacy staff to dispense quicker and improve flow through the department.

To meet, greet and offer assistance and information in an informed and friendly way, to ensure that patients have a welcoming and caring experience as part of their journey within the hospital.

We look for you to be able to commit to a minimum of 4 hours a week for 6 months. If you have any experience or particular interest tell us, it may come in useful. It’s really easy to get your volunteering started. If you're over 18 years old, just click on ‘Apply’ and get filling in your details!
