Get involved with Caring for AyrshirePharmacy Practices Committee
NHS Ayrshire & Arran is seeking to appoint a number of voluntary Public Committee Members to the NHS Ayrshire & Arran Pharmacy Practices Committee (PPC). This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to and inform discussions and decide on community pharmacy applications for inclusion on the Ayrshire and Arran Pharmaceutical List to provide community Pharmaceutical services across Ayrshire and Arran.
Voluntary Public Committee Members are independent of the NHS and are crucial in providing an external perspective on important issues and decisions. Public Committee Members are responsible for ensuring the decision-making process is transparent and follows national guidance. We are particularly interested to hear from individuals who have experience as a member of a board or committee, or experience of operating at a strategic level in a professional role. Full training and support will be provided. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.
Please note that Public Committee Members cannot be current members of an NHS Health Board or have been a doctor, dentist, optician or pharmacist or an employee of a person who is a doctor, dentist, optician or pharmacist.
