Dedicated pharmacist dispensing with work after more than 40 years in NHS to enjoy retirement
A dedicated pharmacist who has worked for the NHS for more than four decades is finally dispensing with work to enjoy a well-earned retirement.
Medicines management pharmacist Kamini Gandhi has been in the prescribing support team (PST) at The Royal Wolverhampton Trust (RWT) for nearly 20 years and before that worked in pharmacy department at New Cross hospital for 20 years.
Having completed a pharmacy degree at Leicester University, Kamini, remained in that city for her pre-registration prior to moving to the Birmingham group of hospitals that included Selly Oak, the eye infirmary and Dudley Road – now City Hospital.
Kamini, who lives in Walsall, then switched to Corbett Hospital in Stourbridge and worked at Russell's Hall Hospital prior to coming to New Cross.
She recalls making her own cough mixtures and ointments and creams for skin disorders, as well as typing or writing labels for drugs and filling boxes with stock to distribute to the wards.
