Career Spotlight: Roz Gittins on mental health pharmacy, avoiding burnout, credentialing and the CMHP

28th October 2019 by PIP editor Leave a Comment

Why did you become a pharmacist?

Good question.

When I was thinking about going to University I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do. I felt that I needed a course that would offer flexibility in terms of career opportunities and Pharmacy seemed to fit well with that. I thought I’d want to go down the pharmaceutical industry route, but then as an undergraduate, I started working in community pharmacy, and also had exposure to military, hospital and prison pharmacy departments. I found that I really enjoyed patient contact, especially those who were more vulnerable as a result of their substance misuse or mental health problems and liked being able to apply my clinical knowledge.
