Member Profiles

“I am privileged to provide consultant pharmacist services to long term care facilities in Thunder Bay and Nipigon, Ontario servicing approximately 700 residents. I attend all admission and annual care conferences, professional advisory meetings, and provide quarterly inservices and medication room inspections. I am available to residents, family members and staff to answer medication related questions. I have an incredibly supportive employer who believes this is an important service and this is therefore the entire focus of my practice. She supports my attendance at ASCP conferences and also provided the opportunity for me to study for and write the CGP exam.

Spending time in long-term care enforced the need to take care of myself and I recently took up running. I was inspired by the many people in my community who were running marathons for Team Diabetes while raising money for the Canadian Diabetes Association. I am fortunate to train with one of the national Team Diabetes trainers and was able to complete the Rome Marathon with 68 other Canadians in March 2007. I have started fund-raising again and this October I will run my second Team Diabetes marathon in Dublin Ireland.”
