We are focussed on creating an environment where each person in the team has the opportunity to flourish, develop and make best use of their skills.
The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (RIE) is a large teaching hospital with an established reputation for offering the best practice across a wide variety of specialist services.

It is an excellent opportunity for a pharmacist who is looking for a part time clinical pharmacist role and working days/hours can be negotiated with the successful candidate.
We are looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic pharmacist to join the pharmacy team delivering the highest quality pharmacy services across these areas. The post holder will contribute to the development and delivery of the clinical pharmacy service in the face of emerging challenges around site capacity and patient flow. The post holder will be a key member of the multidisciplinary teams; where pharmacists have an established non-medical prescribing role.
Candidates must have a Master of Pharmacy Degree or equivalent, must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), and should have completed the Post-Registration Foundation Programme or equivalent competency.
