As the dedicated officer for pre-registration trainee pharmacists the Graduate Officer acts as a central contact point for trainees and to organise events for trainees.

My name is Mariah, and I have graduated from the University of Birmingham.

I will be commencing my foundation training year at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. 

It is a privilege to have been elected into this position.

Having attended three BPSA Annual Conferences, I have witnessed firsthand the dedication and effort the association invests daily to secure a better future for its members.

This experience has inspired me to contribute to the BPSA’s mission and build a platform for trainee pharmacists across the country.

My goal is to make the journey of a student, the transition from a student to a trainee, and the experiences of a trainee be insightful, successful, and inclusive.

During my mandate, I intend to organise training days with different education providers, host a graduate conference, distribute graduate newsletters, continue Trainee Teusday quizzes, run campaigns, and gather GPhC feedback for the June and November sitting. 

I am excited to begin my role, and work with the talented executive team to advocate for the voices of our members.
