Biography

Ros Batty has spent most of her practice in hospital pharmacy, although she did spend a short period working for a Primary Care Group when PCOs were first set up.  She spent over 10 years working initially for North West Thames Regional Health Authority and then for North Thames Pharmacy Services supporting and developing hospital clinical pharmacy services in the region. For part of this time she also provided support to Health Authority projects involving community pharmacists in the provision of prescribing advice and medicines management to elderly patients.
