Experienced Pharmacy Technician with a passion for medicines management.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly experienced and adaptable Pharmacy Technician with a diverse background across hospital, community, and primary care settings, including secure environments such as prisons. I have a genuine passion for medicines management, with particular strengths in prescription screening, resolving clinical queries, medicines optimisation, medication reviews, and monitoring.
Throughout my career, I have independently run patient clinics, supported high-risk medication use, and worked confidently with systems like SystmOne and EMIS. Known for my bubbly, people-focused personality, I thrive in fast-paced, patient-facing roles, and enjoy building strong relationships within multidisciplinary teams. I embrace change and love stepping into new environments, bringing energy, professionalism, and a compassionate approach to every role I undertake.
