Profile

I work as a drug information pharmacist for a small group of pharmacies based in Ireland.I also have a consultancy practice where I write reports on the use of drugs and toxicology for lawyers.This work is very interesting as I have written reports on suicides,driving under the influence,attempted murder and many others.I love getting stuck in to the evidence and producing a coherent report for the court.As an expert witness you must always remember that you are a servant of the court and justice at all times,regardless of who instructs you.

Get up at 7am usually,have breakfast etc. then sit down at my computer at 8am .Check the emails and answer any urgent queries.See what else is going on in the world.Review any case notes which I may be currently working on.Go to the pharmacy for a few hours to work at drug information .Spend the afternoon researching and reading for background reference material relevant to my reports for lawyers.Dinner at 6.30pm then round up the day’s work until about 8pm.

Lismore Heritage Centre runs an extensive school’s  science outreach programme which is delivered in schools all over Munster.It provides science education in many schools which have little or no science taught.
