Philip Newland Jones MRPharmS
In his role as Advanced Specialist Pharmacist in the field of diabetes, Philip has shown significant leadership to improve care for patients, working closely with medical and nursing professions as well as pharmacy. In addition to being known for his significant clinical expertise, and commitment to education, he has also promoted the benefits of the role of specialist pharmacists, and has prompted development in practice in a much wider audience, locally, regionally and increasingly internationally. His leadership and superb practice have shown how the role of a clinical pharmacist practitioner can benefit the care of diabetes patients across the whole health system: hospital trust, community and primary care, as well as commissioners, ensuring that the pharmacist is embedded in a team approach that will benefit patients. With Philip’s expertise, energy and commitment, the benefits and value of specialist pharmacist is understood, care has improved, and there is a model for other regions and even countries, to follow.
