Not all connections are bad Be intentional about creating meaningful professional relationships/connections in professional spheres This covers two of the rules relating to the code of conduct of pharmacists and that is Continuing professional development (CPD) and Co-operation with health care professionals. I gave a speech as the University of the Western Cape Association of Pharmacy Students Chairperson in our final year ball, one thing that I have highlighted is that we came to varsity as strangers but weren't exiting the same way, relationships have been formed and they will be beneficial going forward in our career paths. cultivating positive connections in professional spheres is essential for career growth, collaboration, professional development, job satisfaction, networking, conflict resolution, and fostering a positive organizational culture. By investing in building and maintaining meaningful relationships with colleagues, supervisors, and industry peers, you can enhance your success and fulfillment in the workplace. One of the benefits of networking, building positive connections expands your professional network, which can be beneficial for career advancement and job opportunities. Networking allows you to exchange ideas, learn from others' experiences, and stay informed about industry trends. A robust professional network can provide referrals, introductions, and access to job openings. #Pharmacy #health #professional #Networking #medical

𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘆. It was a late-night text from a friend, a distinguished leader in pharmacy in Michigan and nationally, that reminded me of the crucial role we play as leaders in advocating for our profession and specifically right now, community pharmacy. The impact our pharmacy teams are making in community pharmacy practice on people's health and well-being is unparalleled. As I prepare to embark on a new career chapter soon, I am more motivated than ever to drive positive change and to make a difference in the lives of those I lead and the communities I serve. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: Even if you are overstaffed, 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲 pharmacists or technicians looking for guidance on finding a position. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀: If you are a job seeker, shift your focus from submitting dozens and dozens of applications and focus more on building connections, networking and reaching out hiring managers. 𝟴𝟬 𝘁𝗼 𝟵𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 are 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵. Addressing pharmacy students recently, my message centered on the transformative power of 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Even if you are fully staffed, take the time to offer support and guidance to those reaching out, ensuring no email, call, or text goes unanswered. I recall when I started my career over 2 and 1/2 decades ago, there simply wasn’t enough pharmacists to keep the doors open. The job market 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 fluctuate and if you simply take a call, offer guidance or help others along the way now, this will set you up nicely in the future when the job market swings in the opposite direction. 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗘 - 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀. #business #humanresources #hr #kindness #servantleadership #pharmacy #pharmacists #pharmacist #pharmacytechnician #CommunityPharmacy #PharmacyAdvocacy #MakingADifference #jobseekers #linkedin #indeed

Unlocking New Opportunities and Career Growth in Clinical Research Through Networking A fundamental building block to initiating and growing a successful career in clinical research is cultivating a robust professional network. Whether you're just starting out or looking to advance your career, networking can be a powerful tool to help you achieve your goals. You can start by attending industry conferences, webinars, and workshops—these events are rich with opportunities to meet professionals who can offer guidance, share insights, and even connect you with job openings. Joining relevant associations and groups can also provide valuable connections with people already established in the field. LinkedIn is an essential platform for networking in clinical research. Stay active by sharing relevant content, engaging with industry experts, liking and commenting on relevant content, and participating in virtual and in-person discussions. This will increase your visibility and demonstrate your knowledge, making you a more attractive candidate to recruiters and hiring managers. Mentorship is another integral aspect of networking. Seek out experienced professionals who can offer advice, help you navigate challenges, and guide your career development. Recommendations and referrals hold considerable weight in hiring; a mentor can strongly advocate for your success. Remember to pay it forward and offer mentoring, advice, and recommendations where possible. Creating relationship capital and goodwill will support and grow the entire clinical research industry and may even create unforeseen opportunities for you and others. By cultivating a robust and mutually beneficial network, you open doors to new opportunities and position yourself for long-term growth in the clinical research industry.

Thinking of getting out of a clinical role? Don't unless you... 1) Have determined what non-clinical sector of healthcare you'd like to get into. This is different for everyone. It could be quality, business, marketing, integration, compliance etc. 2) Identified certifications or additional education within that sector. This will allow you to identify if you are passionate about non-clinical work in this business sector. 3) Networked with those within similar roles who are able to provide insight about the day-to-day, pay, responsibilities, work life balance and career advancement. 4) Do the work to be the best where you're at! Moving into a new role especially one school and clinicals didn't train us for can be challenging. It's important to make sure in your current clinical role you are already attempting to build the skills necessary to succeed in your next role. This could mean people management, communication or any other opportunities at your disposal in your current position. Always happy to chat with those seeking change! #nonclinicalroles #nonclinical #healthcare #cliniciantransition #PT #physicaltherapy #homehealth #healthcarequality #AIinhealthcare #OT #COTA #PTA #healthcareleadership #careerchange
