076 Stephanie Tyler

 

I am incredibly excited to launch this week’s episode! I am thrilled to introduce Stephanie Tyler to the podcast. She is a highly specialist pharmacist in HIV, Sexual and Reproductive Health, currently working at Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in a very exciting and innovative role related to HIV PrEP implementation and Sexual Health. She has experience working at a national level with the HIV Pharmacy Association (HIVPA) as the regional representative for London and the Patient Information Lead. She is extremely passionate about her role and her curiosity to improve patient care through research and publication is truly inspiring.

Our conversation covered a variety of topics:

  • An in depth discussion about why she chose certain hospitals and locations and the advantages and disadvantages of a large teaching hospital vs smaller district general hospital.

  • How she found this specialist area and what she loves about it

  • How to make your job rewarding

  • The challenges around talking to patients in such a sensitive specialist area and tactics she uses to ensure patients have a positive experience.

  • Service improvement and why we both adore this aspect of pharmacy

  • How she manages her time to achieve as much as she has! One example being how she managed to complete 6 posters and 1 oral presentation in one year!

  • Transiting from a band 6 pharmacist up to a band 8 and how these roles have differed

There is so much more to this conversation than what I’ve stated above. I cannot wait for you to watch/listen!
