With regards to research, I developed the interest while I was practising as a pharmacist in different sectors of pharmacy for over 8 years. I started by enrolling for MPharm in Pharmacology and Pharmacy practice. Thereafter, I diverted to the practice a pharmacy for my PhD with focus area as legislative changes in Pharmacy.  This focus is motivated by the passion for training fit for purpose pharmacy graduates. Awareness regarding the legislative changes and its implication in the profession, assist academics in understanding how these legislative changes affect the practice of future pharmacists in all pharmacy sectors including the clinical platform and therefore inform academics on how they can prepare graduates to align accordingly.
