To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
A very exciting opportunity has arisen within NHS Tayside for a person who is experienced in business intelligence to take on this role as Pharmacy Business Informatics Developer.
NHS Tayside has recently implemented Hospital Electronic Prescribing and Administration of Medicines (HEPMA). This is a transformational change which will support safe and effective high quality clinical care. In addition to benefits from the system itself, HEPMA now allows us to gain significant benefits from using the data from HEPMA and other clinical systems.
The successful candidate will work as part of a dynamic team. We adopt the principle of work-life balance and encourage continuous professional development. A hybrid model of working can be considered where this is the candidates preference.
Diverse perspectives and experiences are critical to our success, and we welcome applications from any background with the experience and skills needed to perform this role.
We are looking for a person to support the use and development of data from HEPMA and other clinical systems. The post holder will be taking the lead role in local HEPMA data management and will develop reports, dashboards and processes to ensure we get the best out of reporting and data related to prescribing and administration of medicines in NHS Tayside. We have implemented HEPMA as part of a North of Scotland system so there will be an opportunity to collaborate with with business intelligence professionals in the regional team and other health boards.
The post holder will be competent in data management and ideally in the use of NHS data systems. They will also have excellent communication skills which will be essential to fostering close working relationships and engagement of all stakeholders. They are also required to have excellent organisation and people management skills.
Your performance must comply with the national “Mandatory Induction Standards for Healthcare Support Workers 2009” and with the Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers.

Hours of work are: 37 hours per week
NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.
Short-listed applicants will be contacted by email. Please check your emails regularly, including your junk/spam folder.
