Highly Specialised Clinical Pharmacist – Electronic Prescribing
A very exciting opportunity has arisen within the NHS Grampian Acute Pharmacy team to employ a specialist pharmacist within Electronic Prescribing.
The NHS in the North of Scotland (NoS) comprises six NHS Boards: NHS Grampian, NHS Highland, NHS Orkney, NHS Shetland, NHS Tayside, and NHS Western Isles. These boards have collaborated on a transformational project to install a Regional Hospital Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (HEPMA) system, supporting safe, high-quality clinical care for the population of NoS. This is the first time in the UK that a single HEPMA system has been installed and used across multiple NHS Boards.
We seek a highly motivated, innovative, and ambitious pharmacist to help lead the further development and routine operation of the HEPMA system across NHS Grampian, working alongside the regional (NoS) HEPMA team. Applicants should be enthusiastic about IT systems and data utilization to improve patient care.
The post holder will also have a clinical role, providing a highly specialised clinical pharmacy service within Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. They should be an experienced clinical pharmacist with solid clinical knowledge, capable of working effectively within a multidisciplinary team. The role includes supervising and training staff and students, acting as a role model, and participating in audit and research.
There will be some requirement for weekend and additional hours during future HEPMA rollouts, with a commitment to weekend working on a rota basis.
For informal enquiries, contact Kim Cruttenden (Principal Pharmacist) or Karen McKessack (Medical Team Lead) at gram.pharmacyari@nhs.scot.
NHS Scotland is committed to equality and diversity, aiming for a workforce that is truly representative and respectful. We welcome applications from all sections of society.
