Welsh Executive appoints development officer
The Welsh Executive of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society has appointed Jocelyn Parkes to the position of development officer, as from 27 January.
Her remit will be to research topical pharmacy issues, to provide information
to the Welsh Executive secretary and to assist in the background research
and development of these issues. She will also manage specific projects
and assist the secretary in promoting the policies of the Society’s
Council and the work of the Welsh Executive in Wales.
Mrs Parkes is currently pharmaceutical adviser with Cardiff Local Health
Board. The Welsh Executive says that she arrives with a great deal of
experience in community pharmacy and primary care, a comprehensive knowledge
of secondary care and experience of working in partnership with outside
agencies.
Welsh Executive secretary Cath O’Brien says: “I am delighted
that Jocelyn is joining us to complement the existing team in Cardiff.
I look forward to working with her to take the Welsh Executive’s
work forward and to underline the work the Society is doing for the pharmacy
profession in Wales.”
