Pharmacy Direct

January 2022 - Present

At Pharmacy Direct, I work in the CCMDD clinical department where I load and check electronic and manual prescriptions. Every two weeks or so, I attend to clinical queries in the dispensary.

I also work in the dispensary on a 1-2 week rotation where I dispense medication and conduct quality assurance on the packages going out. I sometimes also do QA on automation machines that package ART medication.

I completed my 400-hour academic internship at Settler’s Day Hospital (PHC) in Grahamstown where I conducted the analysis, compounding, preparation, labelling and dispensing of medication. I also assisted with updating stock, pre-packing medication and conducting stock take.
