What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to enhance patient care through innovative medication management and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 10 years of experience in diverse healthcare settings, I am dedicated to enhancing patient care through effective medication management and clinical expertise. My journey has taken me through community pharmacy, general hospitals, and specialized healthcare environments, where I have honed my skills in medicines management, clinical trials, and aseptic compounding.

Currently, I serve as a Medicine Management Pharmacy Technician at St. Mary’s Hospital NHS Trust, where I promote the safe and efficient use of medicines at the ward level. My role involves conducting medicines reconciliations, ensuring compliance with NHS policies, and providing essential advice to patients and healthcare professionals. I am committed to continuous professional development, always striving to stay updated with the latest practices in pharmacy.
