Hello, my background includes over 20 years as a community pharmacist and I combined this role with teaching at Robert Gordon University in various roles from 2015 until 2024. This ranged from a Teacher Practitioner to most recently a lecturer in Non-medical prescribing. I lead the Pharmaceutical Care Services team – leading the development, implementation, and delivery of pharmaceutical care services across NHS Grampian. I support developments across NHS Grampian by collaborating as part of a multidisciplinary team in the management and co-ordination of NHS Grampian and NHS Scotland initiatives. I carry operational responsibilities for the management of services delivered by the 130 community pharmacies across NHS Grampian.
