Lecturer

Biography

Gillian lectures mainly into Pharmacy Practice, having been a registered practicing pharmacist for over 25 years. In the past, she has been employed in many fields of pharmacy practice, including hospital and community pharmacy in both rural and urban settings across Queensland, from Thursday Island to Charleville, as well as in the UK. Her experience in hospitals has been mainly in general clinical pharmacy, but also in nurse education, sterile manufacturing, and maternity and neonatal intensive care. To keep in touch with ‘the real world’, Gillian continues to work as an accredited consultant pharmacist conducting home medicines reviews in the Townsville Region.

Gillian has been involved with the Pharmacy program since 2000, as a placement preceptor, then as a tutor and for the past 15 years as a lecturer. She teaches mainly into years 2 to 4 of the Pharmacy program in areas such as clinical dispensing, dermatology, gastrointestinal and respiratory pharmacy, paediatrics and geriatrics, oncology, pharmaceutical calculations and research statistics. She teaches into various areas of the medical program such as Year 3 skin pharmacology, Year 1 interprofessional learning and previously into the physicians assistant program. More recently, she has been involved in the development of modules for the Queensland community pharmacy scope of practice pilot.

Gillian has been co-ordinating the selection and training of the JCU nominee for the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia’s Pharmacy Student of the Year counselling competition for more than 10 years, with JCU having much success in this event. She is also involved in the supervision of numerous pharmacy Honours and Masters student research projects. With her links with the practice, she networks regularly with local pharmacists in her role as the Pharmacy tutor co-ordinator.

Gillian completed her M Pharm (Research) degree in 2014, developing a discipline-specific training program for pharmacist tutors at James Cook University. She completed her PhD in 2023, developing and evaluating a training program for JCU pharmacist preceptors. Her current research interests include tutor and preceptor development, community pharmacy practice, home medicines reviews as a contributor to the quality use of medicines, pharmacists in general practice clinics and interprofessional health education.
