Hadeel is a senior pharmacist prescriber with a background in hospital and general practice. She is currently Deputy Head of Clinical Pharmacy and Education Lead for a GP Federation in Leeds, and has recently taken on the role of polypharmacy clinical lead for Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber. Hadeel has a keen interest in education, training and research, and volunteers as a RPS mentor, where she encourages the development of pharmacists to recognise their own accomplishments and gain confidence. Last year, Hadeel founded a mentoring scheme specifically aimed at supporting female pharmacists of ethnically diverse backgrounds to enhance leadership skills (ENIGMA). This has now been expanded to support pharmacists and pharmacy technicians from all sectors, nationally. As a member of the RPS Primary Care Expert Advisory Group, Hadeel passionately advocates the pharmacy profession and recognition of the value that pharmacy professionals add to patient care across all sectors. Hadeel is now in her final year of a PhD at The University of Bradford, which is exploring medication self-management behaviours in older patients using multiple medicines at the hospital-to-home transition. She is excited for research to become a more integral part of pharmacy professional roles and champions this nationally as committee member for the Primary Care academic CollaboraTive (PACT) and Research Lead of the Primary Care Pharmacy Association (PCPA).
