Vanesa Huertas Carrera

Clinical Pharmacist @Spire Healthcare Group plc

York, GB

As a Bank Pharmacist I provide flexible clinical support across the hospital’s pharmacy service, ensuring safe and effective medicines optimisation for both inpatients and outpatients. My responsibilities include clinically screening prescriptions, verifying high-risk medicines, counselling patients, and supporting prescribing teams with evidence-based advice. I work closely with nursing and theatre teams to maintain accurate medication histories, resolve medicines reconciliation issues, and ensure compliance with MHRA, CQC, and Spire governance standards. I also contribute to efficient dispensary workflows, support stock management and controlled-drug processes, and help maintain continuity of service during periods of staff shortage or increased clinical demand.
