Principal Lecturer
I'm a Pharmacist Lecturer within the pharmacy practice and clinical therapeutics team in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellbeing.
I have a background in primary care pharmacy and continue to provide pharmacy services to GP practices. I have extensive experience in programme management having led postgraduate pharmacy courses and the MPharm degree. During the period in which I was Programme Leader for the undergraduate pharmacy degree, I oversaw the implementation of the first integrated pharmacy degree in the UK, which included the design and delivery of teaching and assessments which integrate science and the practise of pharmacy.
I am currently responsible for patient-centred curriculum developments which includes the management of a portfolio of interprofessional education and experiential learning projects.

I also deliver interprofessional sessions for pharmacy, nursing, psychology, and medical students at the University and across the region.
