053 Sureena Clement: How to make the most of your skills and passions in a pharmacy career

<p>I am delighted to introduce Sureena Clement to the podcast this week! I came across Sureena's YouTube Channel, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJEZ-qd8bDguz_c6yR32Tbg">Sureena Speaks</a>, a few months ago and I was inspired by her dedication to encourage and support the learning needs of trainee pharmacists (or pre-registration pharmacists). She has 5 years worth of content on her channel which is inspiring! Her videos cover each chapter of the BNF providing general advice and she spends a lot of time motivating students to reach their full potential.</p> <p>Sureena started her career as a community pharmacist. After a few years' of experience, she came across a Learning and Development Pharmacist role with the <a href="https://www.npa.co.uk/">National Pharmacy Association</a> (NPA). She went outside of her comfort zone to apply for the role and her journey within Education and Training has continued ever since. We spend a considerable amount of time talking about the skills you gain from community pharmacy and how they are transferrable to other areas of pharmacy practice and how to sell them in a job application or interview. I love her passion for educating and encouraging the next generation of pharmacists and we both share the same excitement when it comes to being part of their journey into a professional role.</p> <p>At the moment Sureena is working as an Early Careers Pharmacist Training Programme Director with King's College Hospital and Health Education England and absolutely loving her job!</p> <p>Social Media:</p> <p>LinkedIn: @<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sureena-clement/">Sureena Clement</a></p> <p>YouTube: @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJEZ-qd8bDguz_c6yR32Tbg">Sureena Speaks</a></p> <p>Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sureenaspeaks/">Sureenaspeaks</a></p> <p>Twitter: @<a href="https://twitter.com/SureenaSpeaks">Sureenaspeaks</a></p> <p>Follow me on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiVblA0G1Q5yboo33q9ZP9w/featured">YouTube</a>, <a href="https:
