What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my pharmacy expertise while fostering professional growth and contributing to patient care.

I am a committed Pharmacy Technician with over a decade of experience in the pharmaceutical field. My journey began in India, where I earned my Bachelor of Pharmacy and worked in various esteemed hospitals and pharmacies. Since relocating to the UK, I have honed my skills in medication management, patient care, and team collaboration, ensuring that I provide the best possible service to patients and healthcare professionals alike.

Currently, I work as a Remote Pharmacy Technician with The Pharmacist Network, where I utilize my expertise in SYSTEM ONE to manage patient medications effectively. My role involves liaising with multidisciplinary teams, resolving patient queries, and ensuring that all medication-related processes are executed with precision. I take pride in my ability to suggest alternative medications during supply issues and carry out thorough medicine reconciliations, contributing to the overall health and well-being of patients.

Throughout my career, I have participated in various training programs and have continuously sought to expand my knowledge and skills. I am passionate about delivering results and maintaining strong relationships with both patients and colleagues. My goal is to leverage my experience and dedication to drive success in my future roles while fostering a positive and supportive work environment.
