Biography

I am a UK registered pharmacist and registered with the RPSGB in July 2000 following completion of my Batchelor of Pharmacy degree at Nottingham in 1999. I undertook my pre-registration training with Lloyds Pharmacy, a community pharmacy multiple, and continued to work them as a relief manager until September 2001 when I returned to Nottingham to study for a PhD.

My PhD was a BBSRC Industrial CASE award with Reckitt Benckiser, co-supervised between Dr Colin Melia founder of the Formulations Insights research group in the School of Pharmacy and Professor John Mitchell, Head of the Division of Food Sciences at the Sutton Bonington campus. My project investigated the solution properties of polyelectrolyte mixtures containing the polysaccharide xanthan gum, and from this work a patent was filed relating to some novel mixtures that significantly increase in viscosity on dilution with water.

Following my PhD I continued with community pharmacy practice along with sessional teaching work for a number of modules within the Pharmacy practice teaching area.

Current Research

My research interests focus on the skill set of Pharmacists and how these skills are attained. I have particular interests in the use of E-learning techniques and also how inter-professional learning (IPL) can contribute to, and enhance the undergraduate learning experience.
