Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians and Pharmacy Assistants are uniquely placed to help patients receive the best outcomes from their medicines, and live longer, healthier lives. As a pharmacist, I am fortunate to be able to work with people every day to do just that. I started my Pharmacy journey as a student in 2007 and registered as a qualified Pharmacist in 2012. Since then, I have worked in a range of exciting settings, including in hospitals, community pharmacies and more recently working with Health Education England to support the development of the Pharmacy workforce in England. A career in Pharmacy offers endless opportunities and brings together elements of clinical work, leadership and management, education and training and research amongst others. I hope that this map sparks your interest in one of the wide and varied roles Pharmacy has to offer, and we look forward to hopefully supporting you on your Pharmacy journey in the future.

Kent Local Pharmaceutical Committee – Chief Executive Officer
I qualified as a pharmacist in 1999 from Kings College University and have been a pharmacist for 21 years working for two large multiple pharmacy chains starting as a pre-registration student and working my way up to a senior position, as an Area Manager and now I am a Chief Executive Officer of Kent Local Pharmaceutical Committee.
Whilst I have always had a career in Community Pharmacy, I have seen over the years pharmacy evolve and grow into so many different roles, in different Healthcare settings. This shows the value of having a pharmacist in any Multi-Disciplinary Team. Over the last few years, I have seen many Pharmacists have portfolio careers which has so many benefits such as personal development, being able to understand other sectors and they way they work, to using skills learnt in one setting to apply in another, as well as being continuously challenged.
I am proud of the way that this project has developed and have been happy to have been involved as I believe it really encompasses all the different roles in Pharmacy and shows what an exciting purposeful career Pharmacy is.
