Linda Deas

I’m a seasoned clinical pharmacist with 40 years of continuous pharmacy experience—14 years in retail and 26 years in hospital and clinical settings. I specialize in flexible, part-time remote consulting, leveraging deep clinical judgment to improve patient outcomes while reducing unnecessary costs.

In my most recent role, I led an antibiotic stewardship program that significantly reduced unnecessary Vancomycin/Zosyn use on admission, lowering resistance rates and bringing the department under budget. I also manage IV-to-PO conversions, antibiotic escalation/de-escalation with physicians, renal dosing and pharmacokinetics, anticoagulation monitoring, therapeutic duplication review, adult and standard neonatal TPN consulting, and medication reconciliation across admission and discharge.
