Cross Sector (rotational) across both Primary Care and Secondary Care with on call commitment. Opportunities to consider fixed sector posts in Primary care and Secondary Care during training programme
Location: Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline and GP practices across Fife.
Do you want to be at the forefront of transforming clinical pharmacy?
We are creating innovative pathways to develop clinical leaders and we are now looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic pharmacists to join our expanding team. Building on the success of our new integrated training scheme for Band 6 pharmacists, we are delighted to offer opportunities working in cross-sector posts, combining a role in GP practices with hospital wards/departments with future opportunities to review sector specific roles. These posts will be patient-centred and will give you the opportunity to develop your clinical and technical skills in practice.
You will receive support from an educational supervisor, and the wider pharmacy team, as well as peer support from other Foundation pharmacists. Successful applicants will be supported to complete the RPS Post Registration Foundation Training programme which equips pharmacists with a broad range of core skills via completion of learning outcomes, to become clinical practitioners. This course is inclusive of the independent prescribing qualification.
The NHS Fife Pharmacy and Medicines Directorate provides an integrated service to a population of approximately 380,000 people, with a team of around 300 Pharmacy staff, including Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Support Workers, Nurses, and Administrators. 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.
The team work across Acute and Community hospital sites, General Practices, Mental Health services, and a range of specialist teams. Partnership working is at the core of our values, and we work closely with other members of the multi-disciplinary team, including our Community Pharmacy colleagues, to deliver the highest quality care for everyone in Fife. There are opportunities to become involved in a range of projects across the integrated Pharmacy service as well as shaping the future vision for the service.
Fife has something to offer everyone and getting to and around Fife is simple, with excellent public transport links from around the UK. This fabulous region is not far from Scotland’s major cities, with Edinburgh just to the south, Dundee and Perth to the north, and Glasgow to the south west.
Hospital or primary care experience is not essential as training will be fully supported.
The posts are also open to pharmacists currently undertaking their post graduate foundation training year who would be in a position to commence post later this year.
Please refer to the relevant job description and person specification for details on the role.

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.
