030 Pharmacist: Steven Giddings

On today's episode I am super excited to introduce Steven Giddings to the podcast. Steven is currently the Lead Pharmacist for Education and Training at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals, Guy’s & St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and has recently started working with the undergraduate pharmacy team at Kings College London. He is extremely passionate about inspiring the pharmacy workforce, an aspect of his career that we definitely share in common.  Over the last few months, he has been spending a lot of his spare time working at The Morris House Group Practice to support the coronavirus vaccination clinics which he talks about in detail during the podcast. They are currently vaccinating around 1000 patients a day which is an incredible achievement! Steven is an Independent Prescriber in Cardiology and is currently undertaking an MSc in Advanced Pharmacy Practice with UCL. After a very hectic week, recording this podcast with Steven was a genuine pleasure for me on a friday night. I got to spending time connecting with my new colleague and we enjoyed a conversation about our professional journeys and what we love about our profession.
