Rabia Ahmed

I joined Aston University in February 2013 having worked in the NHS since 2007.
On graduating from Aston University in 2007 I did my pre-registration training at Dudley Group of Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and then continued to work as Resident Pharmacist until 2010 covering a range of clinical specialities including Medicines Information (MI) and Aseptics.
Next I became Senior Medicines Information Pharmacist, for the regional MI service at London Medicines Information Service covering London and the North Thames region. The role involved dealing with MI queries for the region and also the education and training of local MI pharmacists.
Following this role I joined Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, as Clinical Training and Policy Development Pharmacist in 2011 where I was involved in a range of projects which looked both at the education needs of the pharmacy team itself as well as those of the many non-medical prescribers across the Trust.
