Rena Purewal

Regulatory Medical Writer with practical training and project-based experience across CSR, CTD, Investigator's Brochure and clinical protocol document types to ICH submission standards. Brings over 13 years' frontline pharmacy experience across a well-established chain of community pharmacies in the West Midlands, including five and a half years as regular pharmacist at a single branch, reflecting sustained clinical trust and consistency rarely seen in locum practice.
