Rhonda McQueen
@rhondamcqueen
I improve medication safety and pharmacy operations across hospital, community, and clinical settings.
What I'm looking for
I've worked across New Norfolk Amcal Pharmacy, Elizabeth Hope Priceline Pharmacies, Royal Darwin Hospital, Hobart Private Hospital, and Royal Hobart Hospital, supporting safe medication supply, reconciliation, dispensing, and clinical care.
As Pharmacy Manager at King Island Pharmacy and HPS Pharmacies at Hobart Private Hospital, I led teams, trained pharmacy interns, introduced point-of-sale, delivery, script-management, and Webster Pack systems, and helped transform a failing business into a thriving one.
My hospital experience includes medication reconciliation, electronic prescribing with eMMA, academic detailing for venous thrombo-embolism prevention, and clinical pharmacy across geriatrics, orthopaedics, maternity, paediatrics, neurology, cardiology, renal, and other services.
I've also taught and assessed third- and fourth-year pharmacy students, reviewed Masters of Clinical Pharmacy materials, and contributed to medication-continuity research. Alongside pharmacy, I'm continuing Juris Doctor studies and bring practical experience in negotiation, problem-solving, and conflict resolution.
