ASHLEY THOMSON Robert Gordon University
Ashley is passionate about quality patient care and co-ordinates various activities that allow her and her colleagues to acquire attributes, skills, and knowledge so that they may provide better patient-centred care as the healthcare professionals and pharmacists of the future. Her main contributions have been through my position as event co- ordinator for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), as a student representative for the Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE), as the faculty of quality improvement representative for pharmacy and life sciences and as the founder and RGU president of the Interprofessional Education Society (IPESoc). Ashley is motivated to be the best pharmacist that she can be because she believes every patient deserves to receive the highest quality of care that can be delivered. Her contributions and extra-curricular activities are all an essential part of her development as a professional.
KIRSTY REGAN Robert Gordon University
Kirsty co-founded RGU’s first Patient Safety Society for pharmacy students. The aim of the society was to encourage students to develop their knowledge in preventing errors in healthcare alongside patient safety and quality improvement. Over the past two years she has taken a keen interest in the design of pharmacy education at RGU with an interest in teaching and learning which has enabled her to represent the University at many conferences and workshops. Kirsty’s academic achievement, to date, has been exemplary and she has an extensive work experience in community pharmacy as a dispenser which has enabled her to develop skills in care home services, public health promotion and pharmacy services. In the past she has been responsible for the organising and running of health promotion events in community pharmacy such as a diabetes week-long event and a smoking cessation event.
