How can I transition from Pharmacy to healthcare consulting?
I am a senior band 8a Pharmacist and Independent Prescriber with 10 years experience in various settings including digital/telehealth, physical and mental health Trusts. I have an established record of delivering significant cost savings through large scale medicines optimisation and biosimilar switches. I have experience in clinical governance by way of being elected as a Staff Governor to sit on the Council of Governors and also a Core20PLUS Ambassador Alumni with NHS England and NHS Improvement to address healthcare inequalities. With this background, I'd like to move into healthcare consulting. Please advise on the best strategy to transition (ideally without a drastic pay cut). Thanks.
