Pharmacy

I am both an outpatient and clinic pharmacist. In the Outpatient Pharmacy, I am part of the team overseeing the home delivery and Medi-box operations, providing patients with a safe and convenient alternative to receive their medications without waiting in the pharmacy. As a clinic pharmacist, I lead the teams running the Anticoagulation, as well as Renal pharmacist clinics. We work with patients and physicians to optimise medication therapy, as well as provide patient education to empower patients to live well with their chronic conditions. In these various roles, my team and I am able to utilise our knowledge in medications and experience in patient counselling to provide optimal care for our patients.

I am an ambulatory care pharmacist and a collaborative prescriber. In this capacity, the tasks I do includes medication optimisation and disease state counselling at the Cardiac and Renal Pharmacist Clinics (CPC & RPC respectively), as well as fine-tuning drug dosages at the Anticoagulation Clinic (ACC). I apply the latest medical research findings to initiating/ adjusting disease modifying medications to protect their heart and/or kidneys or titrating anticoagulation dosages in a fine balance between clot prevention and adverse bleeding.

I consider this a privilege which I hold dear as I journey alongside patients in their recovery process. It is always a joy at work to witness our patients getting better and meeting the important health goals that are essential to their well-being.

I am part of the inpatient team at KTPH Pharmacy caring for patients in the general wards and ICUs. As an inpatient pharmacist, I work together with a multidisciplinary team to care for warded patients. My role as an inpatient pharmacist is to ensure that the medications served in the wards are safe and effective for my patients.

My passion in infectious diseases has led me to be part of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme (ASP) team. As a team, we promote and educate healthcare professionals regarding optimal use of antibiotics to prevent emerging multi-drug resistant bacteria or "superbugs".
