The dependency specialist

摘要

How did you get to your current role? I am currently an advanced pharmacist in addictions. I have two part-time roles, one in NHS Lanarkshire and one in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. In 2006,1 was part of the second ever cohort of pharmacists who completed a supplementary prescribing qualification. Supplementary prescribing is a voluntary partnership between a doctor or dentist and a supplementary prescriber, who can prescribe medicines within an agreed patient-specific clinical management plan with the patient's agreement. I began running clinics in local pharmacies in 2006 while still working in community pharmacy until I took on clinics full time in 2012.
