Kat
Clinical Pharmacy Technician
Introduction
I work with our Clinical Pharmacists to look at all types of prescribing, especially when patients are discharged from hospital with a course of medication.
I’m a Clinical Pharmacy Technician with a background in community and hospital pharmacy, and have worked in general practice/primary care the last 5 years. I work with patients, the practice and other healthcare professionals across different organisations to support with medicines safety, management and optimisation – as well as supporting with medication or prescription related queries. I am passionate in supporting patients through patient-centred care and shared decision making, helping them to get the best out of their medicines and managing any long term or acute conditions.
