Pharmacy Inside Jobs: ADHD assessment and management

Our new PJ Pod series — Pharmacy Inside Jobs — has been developed to inspire you to take the next step in your career. Whether you are a pharmacy student or a seasoned pharmacy professional, our goal is to provide insights into the increasingly diverse roles that exist within the profession. In each episode, we will be joined by a guest to explore their career journey so far, with a focus on their current role and the opportunities, challenges and rewards that it brings. We will also find out which skills are needed to succeed in their role and how you could follow in their footsteps. In this episode of Pharmacy Inside Jobs, senior features editor Dawn Connelly talks Gurmat Khangura, a specialist in neurodevelopmental conditions. Khangura has more than 15 years of experience as a mental health pharmacist and is currently working within the neurodevelopmental pathway of a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service covering Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. He is an independent prescriber and is responsible for conducting ADHD assessments for young people and providing evidence-based interventions to support them and their families following a diagnosis. Khangura has also founded his own private practice, where he provides ADHD and autism assessments for children and adults. This episode was produced by Geoff Marsh, with editorial support from executive editor Carolyn Wickware.
