006 Pharmacist: Thorrun Govind

On today's episode, I am joined by Thorrun Govind. A young, enthusiastic and extremely passionate pharmacist with big dreams. Thorrun completed her undergraduate degree in pharmacy with Kings College London and has been qualified for 4 years but has achieved an incredible amount in a short space of time. She has recently achieved a Distinction in the Legal Practice Course (LPC) MSc in Law, Business and Management programme at the University of Law. She is currently a trainee lawyer working within the Commercial team at a law firm but also a practising community pharmacist. She is the youngest elected board member at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and in 2018, she was named Young Pharmacist of the Year by the Pharmacy Business Magazine, recognising her advocacy for healthcare and healthcare professionals.

On today's episode we dive deep into discussion about what inspires Thorrun within pharmacy and how to best start a successful career in this profession. Whether this is surrounding yourself with like minded people, finding a mentor who can help you to grow, or engaging with the online professional pharmacy community. Thorrun is an avid user of twitter from a professional perspective and provides us with advice on where to get started if you want to start engaging with the online pharmacy community. You can find her on Twitter @pharmthorrun or Instagram @lawpharm.
