Compassionate pharmacy technologist delivering safe, efficient medication management and patient-centered care.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a pharmacy technologist with hands-on experience across dispensary and front-pharmacy roles, focused on patient safety and service quality. Over two years I have managed medication dispensing, inventory controls, and patient education with professionalism and empathy.
I have implemented FIFO stock management, monitored expiries, and facilitated inter-branch transfers to improve medication availability and reduce waste. I regularly conducted drug interaction checks and investigated prescription discrepancies to uphold safety and compliance.
My roles included processing medical aid claims and remittances, preparing pre-packed OTC medications to reduce wait times, and performing follow-ups with chronic patients to support adherence. Colleagues describe me as accountable, detail-oriented, and customer-focused.
I hold a National Certificate and Diplomas in Pharmaceutical Technology (ND1, ND3 pending) and a First Aid certificate, and I seek opportunities where I can continue improving patient outcomes, inventory processes, and operational efficiency.
