About the Role
The Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN) is launching brand new, purpose-built wards at Noarlunga Hospital (NH) for General Medicine and Mental Health, with the addition of the Division of Rehabilitation, Aged and Palliative Care (RAP) occupying an existing ward as a part of the NH Uplift. This is a unique opportunity to provide support to the NH Pharmacy team. The role will also contribute to the wider SALHN Pharmacy Department.
