The team led by Chief Pharmacist and Accountable Officer, Dr Sonia Ramdour, comprises of a combination of Pharmacists, Clinical Medicines Management Technicians and Medicines Management Nurses providing expert advice and support in all aspects of medicines management within the Trust.  We also work closely with other organisations to promote the safe and effective use of medication across the wider health economy.
