Hey, my name is Anisha Patel and i’m obsessed with all things career development. Whether that’s navigating through your professional journey, gaining more clarity, identifying your passions or building the confidence to reach your goals…I’m here to support you to craft a roadmap to success. I am a pharmacist turned entrepreneur who transformed my passions into purpose. I’ve grown a podcast that has reached thousands of people across the globe, I’m growing an online business and I’ve stepped outside of my full time 9-5 to build a career of my dreams. I’ve walked the path of transformation myself, and now I’m here to share insights, strategies and stories to help you carve out a career that you love. Career opportunities, personal development, challenges, growth, and building life skills are all topics we discuss on this podcast. Get ready to feel inspired and motivated to step out of your comfort zone with me. This is the Pharmacist Diaries Podcast!
Beyond the Ward: Leading Change in Antimicrobial Stewardship
In this World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week episode, Rachel Berry shares her journey from hospital pharmacist to antimicrobial stewardship specialist. Starting in cystic fibrosis care, she witnessed firsthand the impact of resistant infections. Rachel discusses a powerful patient case of a catheter-associated UTI that proved untreatable due to resistance.
Her passion deepened when her young son was diagnosed with leukemia, highlighting the critical importance of effective antibiotics in modern medicine. Now working at the UK Health Security Agency as a Chief Pharmaceutical Officer's Fellow, Rachel combines her clinical expertise with national policy work. She reflects on balancing career progression with family life, including managing multiple relocations and returning to career focus as her children grow older.
The conversation covers the evolution of pharmacy practice, the value of independent prescribing qualifications, and the urgent need to preserve antimicrobial effectiveness for future generations.

Is there any chance for international students to attende with in this universities i have a huge passion for my field of study am at a low level Bsc in clinical pharmacy in Ethiopia but i would kill for the opportunity to study in the UK or at least outside of my continent 😢
Yes there is. There’s the OSPAP program for international students to become fully qualified pharmacists here. I’m releasing a podcast episode on this next week actually!
Thank you so much for having me on your podcast! You are a brilliant host, and your husband is a fantastic videographer. Adorable kids too xxx
You’re very very welcome! ❤️

Hello madam Anisha can I have your advice on how to maintain good relationships with co workers
That’s a great question! Thank you for asking. Here are a few tips: 1. Communicate Clearly: Be open and honest in your communication. Regularly share updates, give constructive feedback, and actively listen to others. 2. Show Respect: Respect your colleagues' ideas, time, and space. Being considerate can go a long way in building mutual respect. 3. Be Supportive: Offer help when needed and celebrate your co-workers' successes. Being a team player strengthens bonds. 4. My TOP tip: A positive attitude is contagious. Focus on solutions rather than problems and maintain a friendly demeanor. Does that help?
@@pharmacistdiaries it has helped thanks alot madam
@@pharmacistdiaries but what if your coworkers are way older than you are, how can you handle that. For example a 22 year pharmaceutical technician working with 30+ year old coworkers who look down on him.
Video starts at 6:10..
I’m really impressed with the quality of your videos! However, it looks like you might be having some trouble with views and ranking. I’d be more than happy to share some tips that could make a difference. Interested?
Thanks for commenting and offering some support. I’ll bear it in mind and contact you if needed 🙌🏾
@@pharmacistdiaries okey
All the best dra❤ - bob😊
I’m from the USA and the pay is about 70k lower than what I make in the USA as a pharmacist and the cost of living is just as high in Australia as it is here
Yes the salary is similar to the UK. Cost of living depends on where you live in Australia. Cities like Sydney are very expensive, similar to London and NYC
What’s the pay
It is definitely less than the USA, similar to UK but I believe quality of life and lifestyle is the main advantage
Please, can i connect to her, even if is a social media handle. I'm also a pharmacy student in Nigeria. Birds of the same feathers needs to be together to Fly high. Please pharmacy diaries 🙏

Very awesome conversation it has been. continue having such
Thanks
I still don't get, it how does a consultant pharmacy business look like?
Did you watch the podcast episode?
@@pharmacistdiariesyes
What’s the salary like of a pharmacist in Qatar compared to the UK?
I’m not sure the exact amount but I am aware that you get paid ALOT more than here in the NHS!
Thank you so much ma, your podcasts are really helpful ❤️
Thank you soo much for this podcast mam ... My name is Ayesha done with Bpharm soon i am writing opra exam 😊
No problem! Good luck with that!
Amazing video.... Hello Mam how are you my name is Ayesha i completed my B pharmacy in 2016 and i have 1 year of experience as a pharmacist and i am writing opra exam soon
We're all a colour
Thank you so much for all your support and giving me this opportunity Anisha! I hope it is useful for listeners. 🤎 Getting the right mindset can make all the difference in how you perceive the world around you and achieve your goals 🎯💯
My pleasure 😊
Very impressive 😢 I'm inspired to achieve my own goals ,there are few students from where i come from with a passion like her.
She’s a fab student! There’s no doubt about that! Why the crying face?
Yes sure how can i learn public speaking ?
Practice practice practice! Keep finding opportunities to do it in and outside of your role!
Tell me more about the role you have! Let’s come up with some ideas
@@pharmacistdiaries same as you preparing youtube presentations, if you visit my channel you'd see I'm still a student though.
@@Pharmies78 awesome! So excited you’ve started a channel. Recording your student journey is a great idea 🙌🏾
@@pharmacistdiaries so from what sources did you learn public speaking
How can I learn public speaking
Hopefully you’ve seen my other comment which is about public speaking but my number one tip is to do more of it! Keep practicing and finding opportunities to speak publicly and get comfortable with it. That alone will help you become better at it! I watch my videos back to learn where I make mistakes or how I can improve too
Where can I learn story telling?
Good question! In what context do you want to tell stories?
Hello ma'am. Could you please do a video on how to apply for residency in the UK as a clinical pharmacist
Hi! Do you mean applying for a resident pharmacist job or applying for residency in the UK in terms of a visa?

Very informative.
Thank you ❤️ glad you liked it
I'll be watching you until i graduate
Awesome! What year are you in? And where are u studying?

I want to secure pharmacy intern position in Australia. I am kaps qualified overseas pharmacist. Please give me how to contact with the team.
www.ravensrecruitment.com.au/?source=google.com here's the link
@@pharmacistdiaries i have my account there and keep on applying on intern position but no response till yet.. dont know where im lacking.. feeling disappointed 😔
After kaps, you can apply for visa brother and you can be able to work as intern Pharmacist in australia. Then why you are trying recruitment agencies?
Please can you share the books you read to pass your kaps exam
Just came across your channel as I am on a very similar niche and TH-cam suggested it. I really like what you do!
Awesome! Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. I assume you’re a podcaster? I’ll have to check you out too!
Very nice setup and content! 👏👏
Thanks! It’s my office :)
@@pharmacistdiariesThanks for this informative session. Please, is it possible to get employed to U.S. big pharma without a Pharm.D. but with a B.Pharm and M.B.A?
Love this - Good on you for being clear about how you practice as a pharmacist. I remember working with a pharmacy owner that complained about how much time I spent with customers - even though I was getting fantastic reviews online about the great service in their pharmacy! Each person is different and some people need more time than others - you can't rush healthcare.
You absolutely can’t rush healthcare! And everyone has a different style and skill, and mine is with the patient! I love talking to them and I wouldn’t want to give that up. Thanks for taking time to comment on my video xx
So refreshing, honest and inspiring ❤
Thank you so much!
You’re an inspiration to many! Keep shining 🙌🏽🔥💫

Really pleased a light is being shone on our everyday heroes! ❤ 👏🏾
