I deliver safe, patient-centred pharmacy care across community settings.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I've worked as a locum pharmacist across independent and chain pharmacies since 2020, collaborating with GP surgeries and managing GP CPCS and 111 referrals.
I deliver Pharmacy First consultations, structured clinical assessments, New Medicines Service and Discharge Medicines Service support. I use independent clinical judgement to diagnose minor illnesses, supply medicines where appropriate, and provide clear safety-netting advice.
I've also clinically assessed online weight-management prescriptions, including GLP-1 therapies, counselling patients on administration, adverse effects and device troubleshooting while escalating risks when needed.
Previously, I supported Boots pharmacies as a relief and pre-registration pharmacist, delivering vaccinations, Medicines Use Reviews, emergency hormonal contraception consultations and substance misuse supervision. I'm an independent prescriber, GPhC-registered pharmacist, flu vaccination administrator and British Red Cross First Aider.
