Celeste Naude is a lecturer and researcher in the field of pharmacy practice in the Department of Pharmacy at the Nelson Mandela University. She has a special interest in pharmacy education and in the role of pharmacy support personal. She submitted her Mpharm dissertation in 2022, exploring pharmacists' perceptions of task shifting to pharmacy support personnel in South Africa.
She has been teaching in academia at the Nelson Mandela University since early 2014 and before that she worked as a pharmacy technician at two teaching hospitals in London, UK. Her field of interest was focussed on HIV at the Royal Free Hospital and Imperial College NHS Trust from 2004 to 2009. She moved into paediatrics, still at Imperial College NHS Trust from 2009 to the end of 2013. The decade she spent working as a pharmacy technician in the United Kingdom ignited her interest in pharmacy support personnel as she was exposed to the role of the pharmacy technician in the management of a hospital dispensary (she was deputy dispensary manager in both her positions) and how pharmacy support staff can enable a more clinically focussed role for the pharmacist.
Celeste is also involved in the final year pharmacy degree, undergraduate research elective, which focusses on game-based learning. This is in line with her teaching philosophy of being committed to creating a transformative educational experience that empowers students to become lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and fostering creativity to make learning fun.
