The pharmacy team
The Pharmacy team is based on the ground floor at the main hospital at 20 Devonshire Place and on the ground floor at The Duchess of Devonshire Wing at 22 Devonshire Place.
The team supports patients, nurses and consultants to ensure that medicines are used to benefit patients.
One common misconception is that the pharmacy is only a ‘pill’ supply service. Although this is a key part of what the team offers, making sure that patients receive the right treatments at the right time is at the core of our team's purpose.
At the London Clinic I manage the pharmacy department to ensure we meet all of our regulatory requirements and are providing a safe and efficient service to our patients. I am the Controlled Drugs Accountable Officer (CDAO) which means that I am responsible that high risk controlled drugs are used appropriately and that satisfactory policies and procedures are in place for staff to handle these. The CDAO role is a statutory requirement and requires quarterly audit reporting to the CQC to ensure our policies and procedures are being followed. I am responsible that the pharmacy staff are skilled in their relevant areas and that these skills are best used in a modern clinical pharmacy setting. Jaimi came to the Clinic in 2019 with a broad range of clinical experience, specialising in Intensive Care Medicine and Pain. Jaimi has completed an MSc in advanced pharmacy practice and is a qualified Independent Prescriber. Jaimi leads a team of seven pharmacists who provide a clinical pharmacy service to the main site wards, the Intensive Care Unit, Total parenteral nutrition (TPN), Dispensary and Outpatients. Her team also provides a 24 hour on-call pharmacy service. Jaimi is keen to expand the pharmacy services provided by the team beyond the wards. Jas joined the pharmacy management team in 2018, with over 30 years’ experience of working as a Pharmacy Technician Manager within the NHS, including 11 years at UCLH. Jas leads a team of senior pharmacy technicians, technicians and assistants, responsible for the day-to-day services within the Pharmacy Dispensary, Pharmacy Ward Distribution service, Medicines Procurement team, and Revenue Capture. Jas is committed to improving patient care through promoting and expanding the roles of the pharmacy technical team with an increase in their patient facing roles. With a passion and a qualification in Health care Leadership, Jas is keen to develop her team to support the expansion of the pharmacy services at The London Clinic. Jennifer works as a Lead Pharmacist at The London Clinic’s pharmacy, which amongst other duties, is responsible for the safe use of medicines at the hospital.Azeem Ahmad - Head of Pharmacy
