The highest priority for The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust is to continue to improve the quality of the services we provide for our patients. With a strong focus on ward based patient centred clinical care, you will be working within and supported by a team of pharmacists and medicine management technicians who are well integrated at ward level.
