An exciting opportunity has arisen to appoint a dispensary lead pharmacist and specialist clinical pharmacist within the Older People's Service at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

The post is split equally between the clinical and dispensary roles.


You will work as part of the multidisciplinary team to provide pharmaceutical care to patients within this specialty, in both acute medical receiving and downstream care of the elderly and stroke wards.

In the dispensary, you will be professionally responsible for the day to day running of the department.

You will maintain and introduce standard operating procedures and work instructions and ensure staff are able to comply with these.

You will contribute to the board wide dispensary operational group and undertake quality improvement work to advance services offered within the department.

This is an exciting time to join the dispensary team given the Scottish Government supported service for community pharmacy supply on discharge as well as the current advancements in the IDL system and the imminent change to the pharmacy stock management system.

You will have an influential role in how these systems translate into practices within the dispensary. This role will give you a unique opportunity to develop leadership and management skills.


Advancing practice is also a high priority and Glasgow Royal Infirmary is committed to the development of the pharmacy workforce in line with Moving Pharmacy Forward A Strategic Framework This post would suit a pharmacist with a minimum of 2 years experience completing their Post Registration Foundation Programme or commencing the Core Advanced Pharmacist Curriculum and undertaking Independent Prescribing would be supported.

In addition to undertaking personal professional development, the postholder will be expected to provide support to experiential learning students, trainee pharmacists and post-registration foundation pharmacists in dispensary and clinical services.
