We have strategic partnerships with Local Universities, Local Authorities and our four Integration Joint Boards. We serve a population of 900,000, providing a range of Primary, Community Based and Acute Hospital Services. We also provide regional and national services across a range of clinical specialties.

The vision for the Pharmacy \& Medicines Service is to deliver clinically led, person\-centred services to ensure patients across Lothian get the best from their medicines and pharmacy services. We are focussed on creating an environment where each person in the team has the opportunity to flourish, develop and make best use of their skills.

We are recruiting highly motivated, enthusiastic, and professional Pharmacists who are able to work on an ad\-hoc, flexible basis to join our pharmacy team. Short and long\-term opportunities are available.
