The Opportunity

At Slade Pharmacy, you will work with forward thinking multidisciplinary teams of connected, caring people to deliver exceptional pharmacy services for our client hospitals and their patients. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s just some of the wonderful things our Reliever pharmacist Jodie Wilson has to say about her experience in the role:
“One of the main things that I love about being a reliever pharmacist, is that it allows me to combine my love of travel, with my passion for pharmacy and truly making a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. I enjoy the variety of working with different teams in different locations, it keeps things fresh and exciting – no two days are the same. Working as a reliever pharmacist has exposed me to many different clinical areas in hospital pharmacy, where I’ve developed the type of knowledge and experience that I would not have gained otherwise.”
