Do you want to be at the forefront of transforming clinical pharmacy in acute services?
NHS Fife Pharmacy Services is recruiting a pharmacist to the post of Senior Pharmacist for Emergency Care & Medicine.
As Senior Clinical Pharmacist you will be an integral part of a multi-disciplinary team. At a patient facing level you will have the opportunity to develop and maintain advanced clinical practice skills by participating in daily post-take ward rounds with other healthcare professionals. You will lead a team of pharmacy professionals in delivering care to patients in the Emergency Care Directorate. Within the acute pharmacy service, you will be a senior leader, and be given the opportunity to influence the transformation of acute services.
It is an exciting time to join NHS Fife Pharmacy as we plan to deliver transformational change to support high quality clinical care of our patients.
