What I'm looking for

My proactive and adaptable nature allows me to prioritize patient safety while ensuring accuracy in all my tasks. I excel in communication, working collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams to enhance patient care and streamline processes.

Currently, I serve as a PCN Pharmacy Technician at Easington Central PCN, where I conduct Direct Oral Anticoagulant monitoring and implement efficient medication ordering systems for care homes. My role involves comprehensive medication reviews and maintaining high standards of patient confidentiality and safety. I have successfully achieved maximum payment for QOF indicators in the last financial year, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in pharmacy practice.

Previously, I led a team of Pharmacy Technicians at North Stockton PCN, where I trained new staff and oversaw the implementation of electronic repeat dispensing.
