Job Overview:
37 hours per week (These posts will also support on call, evening, weekend and public holiday service provision as part of the wider pharmacy team). Please note hours will reduce in line with the latest NHS Pay Deal.
Do you want to be at the forefront of transforming clinical pharmacy, working with a dynamic team? Would you like to develop your clinical skills across a range of specialities before deciding in which area to develop advanced practice?
Due to recent staff movement, we now have a vacancy in our specialist pharmacist rotation within the surgical rotation. This post would be ideal for someone looking to take that next step in their career and gain experience mainly within a hospital setting, with the opportunity for out-patient experience. Each part of the rotation would be 9 months and will initially include the following areas:
General Surgery
Cancer and Aseptic Services
Orthopaedic Surgery
Rheumatology
This programme is based in Kirkcaldy, at the Victoria Hospital.
You will be working as part of a team of specialist pharmacists, supported by pharmacy technicians, foundation pharmacists, and senior clinical pharmacists, under the leadership of our Lead Clinical Pharmacists. You will be supported to complete a relevant postgraduate framework and train as an independent prescriber.
Applications are welcomed from pharmacists who are passionate about patient care and are keen to develop their clinical experience across a range of settings. Previous hospital experience is not essential as training and support will be given.

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. Your offer/contract of employment will therefore reflect 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 your Hiring Manager.
NHS Fife is legally obliged to ensure all its employees are legally entitled to work in the United Kingdom. If you are not a United Kingdom (UK) or Irish National, you are required to confirm your right to work in your application.
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination.
