A career defining role in a place you’ll love to live and work. NHS Fife is delighted to offer an exciting opportunity for a motivated pharmacist to join our vibrant and rapidly developing Primary Care Pharmacy Team in North East Fife.
This is a fantastic chance to become part of a friendly, forward thinking service that truly values innovation, collaboration, and high quality, person centred care. As a Practice Pharmacist, you’ll work closely with our GP practices to deliver high impact pharmaceutical care, including polypharmacy reviews, medicines reconciliation, acute and repeat prescribing support, and independent prescribing activity. With prescribing fully embedded across the service, you’ll have the opportunity to utilise your clinical skills every day.
Why join us?
A supportive, integrated, award winning pharmacy service. You’ll be warmly welcomed into a well established multidisciplinary team that includes Senior Practice Pharmacists, Practice Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians and Medicines Management Support Workers. We believe in helping our staff thrive — through strong leadership, mentorship, and meaningful development opportunities.
Real scope for professional growth
Whether you're already working in primary care or looking to transition from hospital or community pharmacy, we will support you every step of the way. You’ll have access to:
* Regular clinical development sessions
* Peer support and mentorship
* Opportunities for quality improvement and innovation
* A wide range of CPD and multidisciplinary education events
Primary care experience is beneficial but not essential — if you're enthusiastic, clinically capable and keen to develop, we’ll provide full training.
A role that makes a real difference
You’ll be embedded within local practices, working as a key member of the multidisciplinary team to ensure patients across North East Fife receive safe, effective, and evidence based care. Your work will help optimise medicines use, improve outcomes, reduce harm, and support sustainable prescribing.
A beautiful place to build a career
North East Fife includes 11 diverse and welcoming practices — the proportion you would cover will be tailored to your working hours. Primarily based in the picturesque East Neuk, you’ll be working in one of Scotland’s scenic and accessible regions. Hybrid working will be considered too.
You will:
* Provide high quality pharmaceutical care to patients in GP practices and community settings
* Deliver structured medication reviews, polypharmacy reviews and undertake independent prescribing
* Offer specialist medicines advice to clinicians and patients
* Support safe, effective and cost effective prescribing
* Participate in quality improvement, audits, guidelines and service development
