Louise Grehan
@louisegrehan
I am a pharmacy technician skilled in medication management, patient care, and inventory control.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated pharmacy technician with over nine years of experience in pharmacy operations, inventory management, and customer service. I prioritize patient safety and accurate medication dispensing while maintaining strong communication with healthcare teams.
In my recent role I processed prescriptions, managed inventory systems, sourced medicines from wholesalers, and used Axium/Axel systems to place orders and negotiate supplier contracts. I proactively monitored HPRA for forecasted medicine shortages to ensure timely procurement.
I support pharmacists in medication preparation, monitor drug interactions, and implement verification protocols to maintain dispensing accuracy and regulatory compliance. I also have experience scheduling vaccinations, managing patient records, and streamlining prescription workflows in fast-paced environments.
Alongside pharmaceutical work, I bring skills in makeup artistry and beauty therapy, proven administrative strengths, and certified IT literacy (ECDL). I am committed to continuous learning and delivering compassionate, reliable care.
