NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
The Scottish National Service for Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMD) provides a framework of care to all adults and children in Scotland living with an inherited metabolic condition. This national service is hosted between the QEUH/RHC in NHS GGC, and NHS Lothian. A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Pharmacy team based at the Royal Hospital for Children, working as an Advanced Practice Pharmacist specialising in Metabolic Medicine.
The Pharmacist role within the IMD service is integral to the high level of care delivering outlined in the National Service specification. The Pharmacist is an essential member of the IMD team, providing expert pharmaceutical input to both the Adult and Paediatric elements of this service. In addition, the post holder is an integral member of the wider Women and Children’s team at NHS GGC and will support in care delivery within the RHC, deputising for the Lead Clinical Pharmacist for Women and Children’s.
You will need to be confident, enthusiastic and have a drive for personal-professional development. You must have excellent communication and leadership skills as there will be a requirement to actively participate in national MDTs and service reviews. Demonstrable experience of change management, and a desire to drive Pharmacy services forward in line with National strategy, is essential to the role.
You must have a Master’s Degree in Pharmacy or equivalent and be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council. A postgraduate qualification and Independent Prescribing qualification is essential.
