Are you ready to elevate your pharmacy career to the consultant level? In this must-listen episode, we're joined by Chloe Benn, a Consultant Pharmacist specialising in paediatrics at Barts Health NHS Trust, who shares her invaluable insights on mastering the path to consultant status. With over two decades of experience, Chloe is not just a leader in pharmaceutical care for children across a major London Trust; she's also a specialist Paediatric Cystic Fibrosis Pharmacist with expertise spanning neonatal care, maternity, and gynecology. Her journey from Principal Pharmacist for Women and Children at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust to her current role offers a blueprint for success in the field. What sets this episode apart is Chloe's unique perspective as a contributor to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's credentialing process. Her secondment to the RPS Faculty Development Group and subsequent involvement in updating the consultant credentialing process make her insights particularly valuable for anyone aspiring to consultant status. Chloe regularly mentors colleagues through the portfolio submission process, and in this episode, she shares her strategies for building a compelling portfolio and navigating the credentialing journey successfully. You will gain practical advice on career advancement, including the importance of pursuing advanced qualifications like the Advanced Practice MSc, gaining diverse experiences through strategic job rotations, and engaging with professional organisations. Chloe breaks down the four pillars of consultant credentialing, offering a step-by-step guide to meeting these crucial requirements.
