We are excited to announce a new opportunity for an experienced, enthusiastic, and motivated pharmacist to join our Critical Care and Women / Children’s pharmacy teams. NHS Fife's Critical Care services include an Intensive Care Unit plus both Medical and Surgical High-Dependency Units. NHS Fife Women’s and Children’s (W+C) services provides care for paediatric, neonatal, obstetric, and gynaecology patients. You will be part of a supportive pharmacy team dedicated to developing services for these patients.

As a Specialist Pharmacist, you will work within a multidisciplinary team to improve the quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness of prescribing across both Critical Care and W+C’s services. You will have the opportunity to contribute to formulary submissions and the review and development of clinical guidelines. Alongside senior and other specialist pharmacist(s), you will provide clinical pharmacy services to these specialist areas and support the strategic and operational development of the pharmacy service at NHS Fife.
You will have relevant post-registration experience of pharmacy practice, sound clinical knowledge, excellent communication, organisational, interpersonal skills and comprehensive IT skills. It is desirable that you have either: a relevant post-graduate qualification in clinical pharmacy/ prescribing sciences or equivalent experience, or be an independent prescriber, or are able to complete these within an agreed timescale.
