Internship
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented or summarized away detail. Remove boilerplate (EEO, AI warnings, visa, PVG, etc). Also remove application instructions, contact info? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the AI warning, visa, PVG, etc. Also remove "Ready to take on your next big challenge?" maybe that's part of description but not boilerplate; it's substantive? It's more marketing but we can keep as prose. However we need to keep all substantive information. The AI warning etc is boilerplate; remove. The PVG requirement maybe considered requirement? It's a requirement but maybe considered legal? It's a condition of employment; but it's not EEO; it's a specific requirement. Should we keep? It's not boilerplate; it's a specific condition: "This post requires the post holder to have a PVG Scheme membership/record." That's a requirement. Should we keep? Probably yes as it's a requirement. However the instruction says remove legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. PVG is a legal requirement but it's specific to the role; not generic boilerplate. I'd keep it as a requirement.
Also "Please note: As this post is part-time, the salary will be pro-rata." That's about Pay; we have no specific salary figure, just note pro-rata. The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states salary will be pro-rata but no actual amount. That's not specific; it's vague. Should we include Pay section? The rule says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states "salary will be pro-rata" which is a statement about pay but not a specific figure. Might be considered stating something about pay. However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to omit Pay section because no concrete salary. Similarly Schedule: they mention 1.5 WTE, 2 posts (1 x 36 hours based at WGH and 1 x 18 hours based at RIE), 12 months Fixed term/Secondment (with some weekend and public holiday working). That gives schedule info: hours per week, duration, weekend/holiday. That's specific enough to include Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned. So we can include Schedule.
We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll include only those with content.
Let's extract content:
About the role: paragraph after "About The Role". It says: "The NHS Lothian Pharmacy Clinical Trials Team plays a vital role in delivering around 200 clinical trials across multiple sites and clinical specialties. In this role, you will help expand our clinical trials portfolio and support the implementation of both local and national research strategies. You will work collaboratively with pharmacy services and the wider research community to ensure equitable access to clinical trials across NHS Lothian. These posts are based at the Western General Hospital and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. You will be supported to maintain clinical practice through sessional commitments, with the potential for hybrid working arrangements."
That's substantive.
Responsibilities: Not explicitly listed but we can infer from earlier paragraphs: "You will play a pivotal role in managing and delivering trials focused on cancer and non-cancer therapies and emerging innovative treatments, aligned with NHS Lothian’s pharmacy and research strategies and national ambitions for the UK to be a world leader in clinical research." Also "supporting patients to access new treatments and advancing person-centred care." Also "manage and deliver trials". Could be considered responsibilities. We'll create a Responsibilities section with bullet points derived from those statements.
Requirements: Could include experience, knowledge, etc. The posting has "Experience and Knowledge" section: Hospital pharmacy clinical trials service delivery experience and working within relevant clinical specialities. Experience in developing procedures, policies and guidelines and providing medicines management advice for pharmacy and multi-disciplinary teams. Experience of working within complex multi-disciplinary environments. Also PVG requirement. Also maybe "Independent Prescribing Qualification" is under Qualifications. So Requirements could be experience.
Qualifications: "Essential Qualifications and Competencies: A Master of Pharmacy Degree (or equivalent). Registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). An Independent Prescribing Qualification. Candidates who have completed a Postgraduate Clinical Pharmacy Diploma or MSc in Clinical Pharmacy should complete the learning needs analysis (LNA) using the LNA tool in the RPS e-portfolio, identifying any gaps that will need addressed as part of PDP plans. Candidates who have not completed a Postgraduate Clinical Pharmacy Diploma or MSc in Clinical Pharmacy must demonstrate substantial progress across the four pillars of the RPS Core Advanced Pharmacist Curriculum through: Engagement with the RPS Core Advanced Curriculum Active participation in a community of practice/peer network Submit a screenshot of portfolio (programme of learning page) Complete the RPS learning needs analysis tool to assess progress with the Core Advanced Curriculum and any gaps that will need addressed as part of PDP plans"
That's a lot; we need to preserve all substantive info, not summarize away detail. But we can list as bullet points.
Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe "strong team values, excellent professional judgement, and a passion for quality improvement and innovation". That's under "We are looking for motivated pharmacists with strong team values, excellent professional judgement, and a passion for quality improvement and innovation". That's skills/attributes. Could be Skills section.
Benefits: Not mentioned; maybe "You will be supported to maintain clinical practice through sessional commitments, with the potential for hybrid working arrangements." That's more about role. No explicit benefits like pension, etc. So we omit Benefits.
Pay: Only note pro-rata; no specific amount. Might omit Pay.
Schedule: details: 1.5 WTE, 2 posts (1 x 36 hours based at Western General Hospital and 1 x 18 hours based at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh) 12 months Fixed term/Secondment (with some weekend and public holiday working). Also mention part-time. We'll put schedule bullet.
Now produce HTML fragment with

About the role paragraph: "The NHS Lothian Pharmacy Clinical Trials Team plays a vital role in delivering around 200 clinical trials across multiple sites and clinical specialties. In this role, you will help expand our clinical trials portfolio and support the implementation of both local and national research strategies. You will work collaboratively with pharmacy services and the wider research community to ensure equitable access to clinical trials across NHS Lothian.

Responsibilities bullet points:
- Play a pivotal role in managing and delivering trials focused on cancer and non-cancer therapies and emerging innovative treatments, aligned with NHS Lothian’s pharmacy and research strategies and national ambitions for the UK to be a world leader in clinical research.

But some of these overlap with About the role. To avoid duplication, we should keep only substantive info not already in About the role. However instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in the original; but we should not invent. Duplication is allowed but we might want to avoid redundancy but not required. However we can keep responsibilities as distinct points from earlier paragraphs: "You will play a pivotal role in managing and delivering trials focused on cancer and non-cancer therapies and emerging innovative treatments, aligned with NHS Lothian’s pharmacy and research strategies and national ambitions for the UK to be a world leader in clinical research." That's from earlier. Also "Supporting patients to access new treatments and advancing person‑centred care." Also "You will play a pivotal role in managing and delivering trials..." etc.
We'll include those.

Now produce HTML.
Check for any leftover boilerplate: we removed AI warning, visa, PVG? we kept PVG as requirement. Removed EEO, etc. Also removed "Ready to take on your next big challenge?" maybe it's not boilerplate but it's a motivational line; we could include as prose under About the role or separate? It's before "Step into the world..." It's part of the description; we could incorporate into About the role or a separate intro. But we already have About the role paragraph; we could add a preceding paragraph: "Are Ready to take on your next big challenge? Step into the world of Clinical Trials and deliver cutting‑edge, life‑changing therapies that are shaping the future of medicine. Working at the intersection of research and clinical practice, this role truly makes a difference, supporting patients to access new treatments and advancing person‑centred care." That's substantive
