Ruth Wakeman BPharm

Ruth Wakeman is a Director of Services at Crohn's and Colitis UK. She started his pharmacy career working as a relief pharmacist for a well-known community pharmacy multiple. After a few years working in community pharmacy, including a couple of management roles, she joined the National Pharmacy Association as part of their information team. This role involved answering inquiries on all aspects of community pharmacy. Her community pharmacy experience was very useful here as she knew exactly how it felt to be dealing with a complicated urgent query whilst a queue of patients waited for my attention. At the NPA she had my first experience of policy work, responding to public consultations from the government and others on a range of healthcare issues. She completed her Bachelor of Pharmacy at the University of Nottingham.
