NHS Borders are offering the exciting opportunity for trainees to choose a training programme that best fits their interests and goals. We are offering 3 training posts and trainees can choose to complete a 12 month hospital placement or split the training, completing 6 months in hospital and 6 months in primary care. All trainees will also complete a 4 week placement in community pharmacy therefore you could have the opportunity to develop your skills across all 3 sectors in your foundation training year if you wanted.
For more information sign up to one of our virtual open days by emailing gillian.elkin@borders.scot.nhs.uk and let us know what date you would like to join.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is the largest NHS organisation in Scotland with extensive experience and success in pharmacist pre-registration training. We are excited to be able to offer a new programme for 2 graduates for 2022-23, a split programme between Inverclyde Royal Hospital and Inverclyde HSCP Primary Care Team. Inverclyde Royal Hospital has supported trainee pharmacists through our existing programmes for many years; these have a track record of producing well rounded pharmacists who successfully secure permanent Band 6 posts enabling completion of Post-Registration Foundation training post-qualification. Inverclyde HSCP primary care pharmacy teams have been at the centre of new ways of integrated working for a number of years from GP practices across the area including the new Greenock Health and Care Centre. They have also supported pre-registration cross sector placements and undergraduate experiential learning. The teams are looking forward to working together in developing this new split programme and supporting trainee pharmacists across sectors.
Details of the programme are still to be worked through but the intention is that half of the training time will be spent in each sector and that a community placement will also be available as part of the NES FTY programme.
We believe that a great Foundation Training year is a building block for your career and we support our trainees to gain as much as possible from all the experiences offered. You will have access not only to all training associated with the NES Foundation Training Year programme, but also our West of Scotland hospitals pharmacy foundation training year programme and local NHS GGC support/tutorial events. You will also be invited to NHS GGC pharmacy events such as our leadership development conversations and local peer review and professional development sessions.

Edinburgh is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities full of history, culture and charm. From the medieval Old Town or elegant Georgian New Town, you are always close to green space; some of our parks feature extinct volcanoes and a castle. Edinburgh has a vibrant arts and social scene with markets, theatre, comedy, live music, clubs and the world famous International Festival, Fringe and Hogmanay celebrations. There are lots of tasty places to eat from street food to fine dining. You’re never far from the beach whether it’s Portobello with its small seaside town vibe or the extensive golden sands of East Lothian. If sport is your thing, you’re spoilt for choice with watching or participating. We’ve got first class leisure facilities and if you travel just outside the city, you can go surfing, explore the Pentland Hills or seek out adrenaline activities in the Tweed Valley and beyond. The compact capital city is well connected with excellent transport links to the rest of Scotland/UK and abroad.
The NHS Lothian Pharmacy Service is committed to providing outstanding person centred pharmaceutical care and is a great place to start your career. It is managed as a single system within which primary and secondary care services are integrated and aspire to meet patients’ pharmaceutical needs as they move across care settings.

For 2022/23 NHS Lothian Pharmacy Service will be offering two programmes – a hospital only programme and a split programme. The split programme will consist of approximately six months in hospital and six months in primary care. Further information about both our programmes are available on the TPI page: https://nes-tpi.azurewebsites.net/TPinfo.html
