We provide comprehensive healthcare services, including acute hospital care, primary care, community health, and mental health services to a population exceeding 1.15 million.

This pivotal role involves collaboration with General Practitioners (GPs) and multidisciplinary teams in primary care to enhance medication management and ensure superior patient care. The position encompasses the delivery of pharmacotherapy services as part of the GP contract, playing a crucial role in supporting patients with their medication needs. As a patient-facing position, you will take on prescribing responsibilities and develop your own clinical caseload in alignment with the objectives of the Achieving Excellence strategy.

You will be an integral member of the East Dunbartonshire Pharmacy team, focusing on improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of prescribing and medication use for patients within the East Dunbartonshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). Your work will involve close collaboration with GPs, practice staff, community pharmacists, care home personnel, and other healthcare team members to foster the development and implementation of high-quality, safe, and evidence-based prescribing practices.

In this role, you will operate within GP practices, care homes, and various healthcare environments to provide tailored clinical care to patients, conducting clinics aimed at enhancing the safety and efficacy of their medications, with prescribing where necessary. A solid foundation in clinical knowledge, proficient IT skills, and exceptional communication and interpersonal abilities are essential. You should be capable of working independently as well as collaboratively within a team.

Participation in joint projects and initiatives within the HSCP will be expected, along with promoting awareness of medication management issues.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Master's Degree in Pharmacy or equivalent
  • Registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council
  • Independent prescriber status or a commitment to achieve this qualification
  • A minimum of 2 years of post-registration experience

Applicants must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council and demonstrate a commitment to Continuing Professional Development.
