Adam Oxberry

I graduated from the MPharm course at the University of Sunderland in 2012 and completed my foundation training year in a community pharmacy in Sunderland.

In 2012, I registered as a pharmacist and worked as a community pharmacist for ten years. Towards the end of my time as a community pharmacist, I applied to support the NHS with the pandemic response and worked as a clinical lead of a Covid-19 vaccination centre from January 2021.

I joined the University of Sunderland in February 2022 and have since, balanced my time working as an academic at the University and as a pharmacist in practice. In addition, I completed a postgraduate clinical diploma with independent prescribing status (awaiting annotation), which I now use working as a practice pharmacist one day per week in a GP surgery in Sunderland.

In September 2022 I took over running the stage 2 module The Legal, Ethical, and Professional Basis of Practice. The teaching in this module is fundamental to support graduates towards their registration with the General Pharmaceutical Council.

In September 2023, I took over as stage 2 year leader. This role allows me to spend more time with students studying in stage 2, where I work with them to offer support in a range of areas.
