Exciting Additions
Ann Daniels Guest Speaker Confirmed
We're excited to announce that the extraordinary explorer, Ann Daniels, will be joining us as a guest speaker on Saturday 2 November.
Ann’s session will provide powerful lessons on leadership, teamwork, and overcoming adversity, directly applicable to clinical pharmacy. Learn how to navigate challenging situations, inspire your team, and drive innovation in your practice.
Ann Daniels is record-breaking polar explorer. A former bank employee, with little experience of outdoor pursuits, she worked to be selected from over 200 female applicants to undertake her first assault on the North Pole 20 years ago. Since then she has become one of Britain’s leading woman explorers with a wealth of lessons, insights and experiences in leadership, teamwork and self-belief.
