Shetland is looking for an individual who is keen to join our growing Primary Care Pharmacy Team and wants to develop themselves as a Clinical Pharmacist.

This role is based within Primary Care and is essential for the effective provision of pharmaceutical care across Shetland. The role will include providing patient facing clinical services in addition to supporting the delivery and development of the pharmacotherapy service in Shetland. Previous experience working at or towards this level is desirable but not essential as training and support will be given including Primary Care Vocational Training, General Practice Clinical Pharmacist Advanced Practice Framework, Independent prescribing, clinical history taking and examination skills, where appropriate for your needs.

Shetland is an exciting place to work for any Pharmacy professional. The team has won awards, gained national recognition, with each team member developing their role and contribution significantly.

NHS Shetland is a future orientated organisation, working well across teams to develop clinical services fit for a modern NHS, embracing technology, new ways of working and the development of the clinical multidisciplinary team – of which Pharmacy is a key constituent. Pharmacists are integral elements of clinical service delivery; with specialisms including Diabetes, Dermatology, Mental Health, Respiratory, and Long-Term Condition Care.

You’ll enjoy the opportunity to work closely with pharmacy colleagues across all sectors of care locally, regionally, and nationally; to realise the benefits pharmacy services can deliver in a remote and rural setting. This role will be a crucial opportunity to represent and develop the value the Pharmacy profession can add in Shetland and beyond.

Shetland is a wonderful place to live and work.  Shetland offers low pollution, low crime, excellent schools, great leisure facilities, unique wildlife and amazing scenery, whilst still only a short flight away from the UK mainland.  To find out more about living and working in Shetland go to www.shetland.org
