Kathleen Cowle
Director for Professional Services & Development
Being part of Davidsons Chemists, as Professional Services and Development Director allows me to support our community pharmacists at all stages of their career. We have over 60 Pharmacists working full time and part time. We have Pharmacy Managers with 20 plus years of experience and newly qualified professionals ready to embark on the new Post Registration Foundation Programme. We are particularly proud of the our independent prescribers, leading the way with service development across Scotland.
As a company we are well placed to deliver and understand the needs of the Scottish people and the skills and attributes required of the Pharmacists who will deliver them. My role is to enable our Pharmacists to be the best that they can be in the role they have chosen. Encouraging them to look after their own health and wellbeing and that of the teams around them while constantly looking to meet the needs of the communities around them.
As challenging as the last couple of years have been, the role of the Community Pharmacist has never been more recognised as an integral provider of essential services both NHS and Private and I look forward to seeing how this progresses in years to come.
