On this week's episode I am delighted to introduce Amandeep Doll to the podcast. Aman is the current Head of Professional Belonging at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Great Britain (RPSGB). She also has experience working in hospital pharmacy, education & training in both hospital and university settings, and has worked at a national level for Health Education England (HEE). Her role with HEE was part of the Chief Pharmaceutical Officer’s Clinical Fellow Scheme. This scheme is a unique leadership development opportunity for pharmacists offered through the Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (FMLM). It is designed to support and develop pharmacists who present with the clearest potential to develop as clinical leaders of the future.
Today's episode features a variety of interesting topics:
- Growing up in an Asian household, expectations from family members, and how this has impacted her professional career
- Moving away from home early in her career which was quite unusual for a girl of Asian heritage and how this gave her freedom and independence to make decisions for herself rather than what was expected of her.
- How an unexpected divorce after 2 years of marriage impacted her life and career plans. Aman started a new job at the same time as getting divorced, however, she didn't really deal with her emotional/mental health in that moment. Upon reflection she has a better understanding of her limits and what she can cope with.
- How she successfully transitioned from one sector of pharmacy to another and what she learnt from these experiences
