Description

The Pharmacy at VGR Skaraborg Hospital (SkaS) is part of the regional Pharmacy VGR and is responsible for the overall pharmaceutical work at Skaraborg Hospital.

Here, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy assistants work together. Our mission includes responsibility for pharmaceutical supply, medication management, product assortment, clinical pharmacy, information, and education in close collaboration with healthcare operations. The unit is also responsible for the production of extemporaneous medications and cytostatics for the care units. Skaraborg Hospital includes hospitals in Skövde, Lidköping, Falköping, and Mariestad.

Work with clinical pharmacy has been introduced at SkaS in recent years, and both departmental pharmacy and clinical pharmacy are now an integral part of the work in several care units. We are now looking for someone who wants to work with both of these areas together with us.
