Pharmacist with clinical experience delivering patient-focused community care.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a clinically trained pharmacist with a first-class MPharm from University College London and progressive experience across community and retail pharmacy settings.
I have worked as a locum responsible pharmacist nationally, developing leadership, pressure-management and team-training skills while ensuring safe, legally compliant dispensing and excellent patient care.
During my foundation year in an independent community pharmacy I supported clinical services such as blood pressure monitoring and flu vaccinations, and at Boots I combined dispensary technical responsibilities with customer-facing healthcare advice.
I have also led student society marketing initiatives that raised funds and grew membership, and I am passionate about mentoring, social mobility in Haringey, sports, and industrial pharmacy.
