Permanent, 37 hours
We wish to recruit forward thinking clinical pharmacists to join our clinical pharmacy team based at Borders General Hospital providing services throughout NHS Borders.
You will receive training and experience in a variety of clinical services, dispensary and aseptic services designed to meet your personal development needs.
Our friendly and experienced teams will support you as you provide pharmaceutical care to a variety of patient groups, including Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Care of the Elderly Cardiology, Stroke, Cancer care, Palliative care, Mental Health and Intensive care. You will be offered and encouraged to undertake continuous professional development using the Post Registration Foundation Training including independent prescribing, or other further postgraduate study depending on your level of experience and needs. In turn, you will support NHS foundation pharmacists, both BGH-based and community-based during their hospital sector placement.
This post involves being part of the oncall rota and the weekend working rota.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.
