You will join an established, forward thinking pharmacy team responsible for delivering high quality medicines management and clinical pharmacy input to a range of primary care settings. The NHS Shetland pharmacy team is renowned for implementing new and innovative ways of working and for developing the roles and responsibilities of pharmacy staff.
This role will be based in Primary Care and will be central in effective provision of pharmaceutical care across Shetland.
