Overview
This is a Fife-wide Service with a leadership structure arranged around four clinical teams: Adult Hospital Services, Adult Community Services, Diabetes & Weight Management, and Children & Young People.
The Service runs a Non-Prescribing Ordering (Off Script) Model for Oral Nutritional Supplements and a Dietetic Led (On Script) Prescription Model for Community Enteral Tube Feeds. The administrative support to both models will form a key component of this post.

The successful applicant will be involved in the transition to an electronic prescription management system. Other key tasks include liaising with the contracted nutrition company, taking calls from patients & carers and arranging delivery of nutritional products in the community via an electronic ordering system.
Additional Service Information
The Dietetic Service hosts undergraduate and graduate Dietetic students for B & C programmes each year, involving staff in delivery and organisation of the programmes.
The Service actively supports staff in their continuing professional development and holds regular training sessions.
