Specialist General Practice Clinical Pharmacist

NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

We are looking for pharmacists to join our team in Perth & Kinross with positions available in both rural and city locations.

NHS Tayside has been at the forefront of the development of the General Practice clinical pharmacy role since 1997. The well established, patient centred service aims to maximise the skills of our pharmacy professionals who are an integral part of General Practice healthcare.

We aim for excellence within our teams with staff supported to achieve their full potential via robust training and development frameworks.

We are a friendly and sociable, forward thinking team with excellent peer support networks locally and across Tayside and Scotland.

The role will be community based and primarily be spent in GP practices but can involve working in a range of environments such as a pharmacy hub, community hospitals, care homes and patients own homes with an emphasis on high quality pharmaceutical care.

As a pharmacist working within NHS Tayside, you will be supported in the ongoing development of your professional practice and clinical skills, aligned with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Core Advanced Pharmacist Practice Framework. Where appropriate, this support will include opportunities for post-graduate study.

Applications are welcome from pharmacists working in any sector.

If you are interested in joining our friendly, progressive team and would like more information then please get in touch.
