Amjid Hussain
Pharmacist. I qualified as a pharmacist in 2009 completing my training in the Luton and Dunstable hospital after doing my degree in Leicester. After qualifying I did my residency in Sheffield Teaching Hospitals where I underwent speciality training in clinical areas including critical care, cardiology, respiratory, oncology, orthopaedics, gastroenterology, stroke, HPB and general surgery amongst other areas. During this period, I also completed a Clinical Diploma. I then went on after completing my residency to work in various hospitals doing various roles such as respiratory in Nottingham City hospital. After gaining a good amount of experience in secondary care I decided that prevention was better than cure and wanted to move in to primary care, so spent a year working in a inpatient mental health hospital to round off my skills before moving across to primary care in 2018 where I have completed the associated training pathway for pharmacists and moved to Parkwood Drive in 2022 with a focus on chronic disease management and care homes. Although I must admit I do enjoy many aspects of primary care.
