‘It will come as no surprise that Fiona’s expertise was called upon by NHS Education Scotland in June 2008 when she undertook the NES East Region Pharmacist Prescribing co- ordinator role before graduating to NES Regional Pharmacy Practice Co- ordinator in May 2010. Here she designed, developed and implemented the highly respected ‘Teach and Treat’ centres for pharmacist independent prescribers, amongst many other things.’
Fiona’s final post before she retired in autumn last year was as NES’ Pharmacy Lead Prescribing and Clinical Skills co- ordinator. While at NES, she successfully redesigned the core clinical skills assessment course and the Common Clinical Conditions programme.
Throughout her illustrious career, Fiona has exhibited numerous conference posters and has been invited to speak internationally in Vilnius, Lithuania, Sydney, Australia and Naples in Italy.
She also served as honorary lecturer at both Scottish Schools of Pharmacy,
the pharmacy representative on the Scottish Government’s Coronary Heart Disease Advisory Group, Prescribing Skills Assessment writer for the British Pharmacological Society and Medical School’s Council, Registration Assessment questions writer for the General Pharmaceutical Council and became a Faculty Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
‘I have had the privilege of knowing Fiona for over twenty years now,’ Professor McQuillan continued, ‘and she has still managed to include, within this incredible career, the time to be a parent to two children, be an avid and successful golfer, develop a sweet tooth for tablet, a desire for a bag of chips at the end of a night out and way too big a crush on a certain Henrik Larsson.’
Fiona Reid was a very popular winner and the reaction of the audience was so overwhelming that she was moved to tears before accepting the accolade.
‘I’m overwhelmed and so thankful for this award. It's beyond my wildest dreams. Such an unexpected honour’ Fiona Reid
‘EMIS Health wants to ensure that community pharmacy is at the forefront of healthcare and obviously the work that people like Fiona have done have brought the profession to where it is now’ Stuart Kearney, Account Manager, Community Pharmacy, EMIS Health
‘I’ve known Fiona for many, many years and her achievements in prescribing and clinical delivery speak for themselves. We would not be where we are today if it wasn't for people like Fiona’ Professor Harry McQuillan, CEO Community Pharmacy Scotland
