Passionate netball player, dedicated boulderer, and fearless cold water swimmer | Committed volunteer | Ward-based pharmacy technician with 2 years of experience | 9 years in the pharmacy field | Balancing my love for sports with my drive to make a difference in healthcare and the community. 

I currently work as a ward-based pharmacy technician in CNTW NHS pharmacy, where I also completed my qualification as a student
pharmacy technician. I have completed my accuracy checking logs and I'm awaiting my assessment to become a checker. While training as a
pharmacy technician and now that I have qualified I have worked on a range of different wards and services. This included: male and female acute
wards, regional affective disorder service, elderly wards, alcohol detox and the crisis team. I have been working in a pharmacy setting since I left school, working initially in a GP dispensary: learning on the job and gaining the
relevant experience before transitioning to hospital pharmacy. Previously, I have worked in the community in several Boots pharmacies, allowing
me to cope in a stressful, busy environment and learn how to prioritise work and time to meet the needs of our patients. I have worked on my own and
part of a large team, depending on the size of the store and staffing levels. As a Pharmacy Assistant at Boots, I was responsible for overseeing the
daily workflow of the pharmacy. In these roles I have trained and provided support to colleagues new to working in a dispensary and were completing their
NVQ. I have carried out a variety of administrative, customer service, and dispensing duties to assist in the smooth running of a pharmacy.
I am a confident communicator with a friendly manner, who is able to provide excellent customer service and counselling skills as a main point of
contact for patients. In my first job, working in a GP practice, I learned how to touch type, which is very useful when labelling prescriptions as well as
writing up patient consultations. I have a lot of experience in primary and secondary care and the ability to deliver high-quality work to a deadline in a
fast-paced environment.
