Pharmacy and Medicines; Flourishing in Fife.

We are looking for an experienced individual to join our talented team at NHS Fife. We now require a Senior Clinical Pharmacist for Medicine - Respiratory, who will work closely with the Respiratory multidisciplinary team to ensure safe and effective use of medicines, including biologics and other high risk medicines. This would include implementation and monitoring of clinical pathways for these treatments, including review of treatment in line with national guidance. You will assist in the clinical management of patients with chronic conditions, ideally working as an independent prescriber with a defined patient case-load, attending ward rounds and providing clinical input to the severe asthma MDT and Tuberculosis MDT meetings to maximise the pharmaceutical input into patient care. There will also be sessional commitment to the Admissions Unit as per other Senior Clinical Pharmacist posts.

As an enthusiastic and motivated team leader, you will help to guide a highly engaged multi-professional pharmacy team to transform the way we deliver pharmacy services in line with our core values of dignity and respect; care and compassion; openness, honesty, and responsibility; and quality and teamwork.

Reporting to the Lead Clinical Pharmacist - Medicine, you will also be expected to develop strong collaborative working relationships across the Medical directorate to optimise medicines and patient care.

We pride ourselves on being a vibrant, welcoming and friendly team that is made up of hardworking, talented and dedicated individuals who work towards a common goal of putting our patients at the heart of everything that we do. We are committed to our staffs’ experience and development and ensuring both our staff and patients experience the same compassion and empathy.

This post based at the Victoria Hospital, in Kirkcaldy, is an excellent opportunity for someone who is on the cusp of readiness for career progression or who is interested in a change of specialty or sector.
