We are excited to offer the opportunity for an experienced, innovative and highly motivated pharmacist to join our pharmacy team. As an integral member of the pharmacy team, you will provide a patient centred, safe and effective clinical pharmacy service to patients across multiple specialties including surgical, medicine and older people services. You will also have the opportunity to develop specialist clinical knowledge and skills alongside the Advanced Pharmacists providing clinics in areas such as heart failure, gastroenterology, rheumatology and dermatology based within the Clyde sector. 

The ability to work in close collaboration with senior pharmacy colleagues will be essential to drive change and quality improvement initiatives. The ability to provide mentorship and training to junior rotational pharmacists is also a key element of this role. You will demonstrate patient focused care and developing leadership behaviours. 

You must be a registered pharmacist with GPhC and have completed a NES Post-Registration Foundation programme (or equivalent experience). You will be expected to register for and complete both a postgraduate Diploma/MSc in a relevant area and the Independent Prescriber qualification. The pharmacy team is committed to supporting continuing professional development and providing appropriate training opportunities. The combination of responsibilities within this post will provide an excellent opportunity to further advance your leadership and management skills.

Inverclyde Royal Hospital is a district General Hospital situated in Greenock. We have an excellent team of friendly pharmacy staff committed to improving patient care, particularly ward based medicines management, pharmacist prescribing and e-health initiatives. 

This is a permanent post of 37.5 hours with participation in weekend, public holiday, extended hours and on call shifts.
