I am clinical pharmacist with over 10 years experience in both community pharmacy and primary care, graduating from the University of Sunderland in 2013. Since completing my independent prescribing at the University of Salford in diabetes and running review clinics, I have specialised more specifically in CKD and general renal medicine. I am currently one of the lead pharmacists on a ICB wide CKD project looking to improve patients’ outcomes and raise awareness and improve education in CKD. I am also a board member of the NENC Renal Network, working to solidify relations between secondary care, primary care and the pharmacy sector.
Working to improve patient outcomes, particularly in underserved communities, is a real passion of mine and the importance of close neighbourhood working and education plays a vital role in this.
