041 Pharmacist: Nicola Husain

<p>Today is the start of a special series of episodes where I interview several paediatric pharmacists at the <a href="https://www.evelinalondon.nhs.uk/Home.aspx">Evelina London Children's Hospital</a> where I am currently employed. I work with an incredibly experienced team of paediatric pharmacists, some of which have been working in paediatrics for 25+ years! I kickstart this series with a super inspiring role model, colleague and friend, Nicola Husain.</p> <p>Nicola is currently employed as an Academic Link Pharmacist which is a split role between <a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/">Kings College London</a> and the Evelina London Children's Hospital. She is a Senior Paediatric Pharmacist at the hospital with a special interest in Pain Management and Programme Director for Postgraduate Pharmacy Practice at the university. She leads the <a href="https://www.guysandstthomasevents.co.uk/internship-paediatric-pharmaceutical-care/">Paediatric Pharmaceutical Care International Internship Programme</a> as well as the Foundation in Paediatric Pharmaceutical Care International Masterclass which we discuss in detail on the podcast. She is also working closely with the Neonatal and Paedatric Pharmacists Group (<a href="http://nppg.org.uk/">NPPG</a>) from an educational perspective.</p> <p>Nicola has built an incredible career pathway for herself with over 10 years of experience in paediatrics in various NHS Trusts across London. In the podcast, she also talks about her passion for travelling to India on several occasions, one of which involved a pharmacy advisory role for the <a href="https://latikaroy.org/">Latika Roy Foundation</a>. She is also a part time pharmacy advisor for <a href="https://chivasouthafrica.org/">CHIVA Africa</a> and <a href="https://kslp.org.uk/">King's Sierra Leone Partnership</a>. We didn't have time to talk about these two roles but if you'd like to know more information, please reach out to her.</p> <p>***Watch this space for more information on the Foundation in Paediatric Pharmaceutical Care Int
