I am an experienced UK Registered Pharmacist with a demonstrated history of working in an acute hospital setting, trained in treating patients from neonates to geriatric patients.

I have a particular passion for monitoring pharmacovigilance within the hospital and creating action plans in response to both national alerts and local incidents, to prevent harm to patients and to ensure staff are empowered to prescribe, dispense and administer medication appropriately.

I also have experience working in a Japanese hospital and speak both proficient Korean and Japanese as well as fluent English, I have a strong passion for learning different languages and cultures.
