New consultants in Pharmacy

Two Trust pharmacists have been awarded a consultant grading following assessment of their posts in the London SHA approval process.

 

 

Brit Cadman will be a consultant pharmacist in critical care, based in the John Farman Unit. Her research work is related to medicines reconciliation, for which she was recently successful in achieving a significant NIHR grant.

 

Alison Eggleton will be a consultant in academic pharmacy practice. Alison has worked with the Clinical School for several years and was commended by the GMC for her work on training undergraduate medical students in relation to prescribing. She has also worked on education-related research projects for several years, funded by the Pharmacy Practice Research Trust and the Eastern Deanery. 

 

Helen Howe, Chief Pharmacist, said: "We are delighted to congratulate these staff, who now join their colleague Narinder Bhalla who was the first consultant pharmacist at CUH last year. His specialism is medication safety."

 

Pharmacy works closely with local universities to promote both undergraduate and postgraduate education in both pharmacy and medicine, and to develop a research portfolio. The department also supports research, particularly with Biomedical Research Centre colleagues in the Trust and the university. It is also supporting the new Cambridge University Health Partners multi-professional board.
