Practice Pharmacist LW

NHS Fife has a fantastic opportunity for a pharmacist to join our rapidly developing, friendly primary care team in Kirkcaldy. The team supports GP practices to deliver polypharmacy reviews, medicines reconciliation, acute and repeat prescription requests, medication reviews and other work in line with the GMS contract. There is opportunity for full utilisation of prescribing on a daily basis within the team.

The role involves working with GP practices as part of a multi‑professional team to optimise safe, quality, evidence‑based and cost‑effective use of medicines.

From 1/4/26, the agenda for change full‑time week will reduce from 37 to 36 hours per week; part‑time hours will reduce pro‑rata. The hourly rate will be increased so pay will not be affected.

This role is an excellent developmental opportunity to give pharmacists a breadth of experience across the diverse, engaging clinical nature of primary care. Experience of primary care would be desirable, but prospective candidates in other sectors are encouraged to apply as full training will be provided.
