The School of Pharmacy at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Lecturer (Education) Postgraduate Pharmacy Practice.   

The School of Pharmacy has an ambitious five-year strategy for development of education and research, building on our excellent reputation.

Our taught postgraduate portfolio of programmes for pharmacists (Certificate, Diploma and MSc) aims to enhance therapeutic knowledge, clinical skills, competencies, and research skills. The flexible study pathway of distance learning means that students can fit their studies around their work and family commitments.   

It is important that pharmacists have opportunities to progress and take on enhanced clinical roles and responsibilities as part of multi-disciplinary teams, particularly as patients’ health needs are becoming more diverse and complex, and healthcare systems are evolving.
