Stepping in the right direction: Lotions, potions and protecting the planet
Anna is an Innovation Project Manager with the West Midlands Academic Health Science Network. A secondary care pharmacist by background she is working on projects that align with the NHS Long Term plan and Delivering a ‘Net Zero’ National Health Service report with a specific focus on medicines.
Anna believes it is essential to widen knowledge in this area and help protect health both now and for future generations and inspire other healthcare professionals and patients about the impacts of medicines and what they can do to mitigate environmental degradation.
As part of this work, she has established the West Midlands Pharmacy Environmental Sustainability Network, a cross-sector group of pharmacy professionals from across the West Midlands that meet regularly to share best practice and ways of working that seeks to improve medicines and their environmental impact.
