Estelle George-fontaine
@estellegeorge-fontai
Pharmaceutical laboratory compounder focused on quality control, cleanroom compliance, and efficient, patient-centered operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a pharmaceutical laboratory compounder with experience across operations, dispensary support, and quality control. I’m especially strong at problem solving, documentation, and keeping work compliant with standards while maintaining calm, accurate output in fast-paced settings.
In recent roles, I supported SI pharmacist operations, wrote SOPs and formal documents, liaised with manufacturing suppliers (e.g., Fagron, Active Pharma, Medisca), and ensured the cleanroom environment adhered to GPhC standards. I handled APIs with correct PPE, performed in-process checks, and helped optimise production while maintaining high standards and clear record keeping.
I also bring front-of-house pharmacy experience—clinic start-up, scheduling, procurement, risk assessments, and handling communications as the first point of contact. With lab capabilities like HPLC, calibration, sample collection, titration, and gel electrophoresis—plus strong organization and leadership, I’m ready to deliver reliable results end-to-end.
