    • About Me:

      I’ve been a pharmacist for over 40 years married with 2 grown up children and a dog called Darcie

    • My Work:

      I work at the Greendale Surgery 3 days a week and help the doctors and nurses in their work with patients.  I spend most of my time helping patients get the most out of the medicines they take making sure they are helping them, not getting any side effects and taking them correctly.

      I am one of a growing number of pharmacists who are able to prescribe medicines for patients something which has been one of the big changes to my job in the last 5 years.

    • My Typical Day:

      I spend about half of my time talking to patients about their health and medicines ; the rest of the day is spent on safety checks, answering questions from patients and staff and general tasks around prescribing medicines
