Fiona Maclean's story (from FB April '21):
"Thanks
Hazel Barton
, my turn. Good grief, the hair! I'm still a pharmacist but after 27 years in NHS hospital pharmacy, I moved to Gilead Sciences and work in cell therapy in cancer care. Married to Stephen for 20 years, one daughter aged 15yrs and a Lhasa Apso called Molly. Alex Mullen was one of my doctorate supervisors 🤣 still have the same season ticket at Celtic Park, still love music and I do a lot of running these days. Looking forwards to seeing more posts."

Lesley Redfern's story (from FB April '21):

"Returned to Strathclyde to do a PhD in Physical Chemistry straight after completing my pre-reg. Then went to work at Abbott Labs in Kent doing formulation development, manufacturing of clinical trial supplies and international CMC regulatory work and where I met my husband Peter. We have been married 22 years this year. We moved to the USA about 1 hour north of Chicago in 2002 and I moved into regulatory affairs where I have worked since in various roles and on CMC aspects for biologics for the last 15 years. Abbott split into Abbott and AbbVie so now at AbbVie. So been with the company for 26 years. Have two American born daughters, Eilidh is 17 and Amy is 15. Life is good in the USA and a lot closer to Hawaii one of our favourite vacation destinations. Always busy now between work and kids. Love taking photos of my girls dancing, or scrapbooking, or doing crafts, baking cakes or gardening. It’s great to catch up with everyone, thanks Hazel."

Carol Wayman's story (from FB Apr '21):

"Thank you
Hazel
for setting this up. It’s lovely to see what we’ve all been up to!
Having made the move south to Maidstone for pre-reg year - I’m still here. Martin and I eventually got married in 2000 and now have two boys 19 and 16.
I did a stint with Boots then moved on to an independent. Whilst there, I got the chance to start working in a large GP surgery in 2005 as a practice pharmacist. Spent some time as Superintendent Pharmacist setting up their internet pharmacy but it wasn’t for me so moved on to another GP surgery in 2014 where I became an independent prescriber."

Katherine John's story (from FB April '21):

Well after pre-reg In Barrow-in Furness I went back to Glasgow and worked for Sinclair Pharmacy (Central Station & Great Western RD) then job with Boots. Did marry Robert - didn't work out. Met Tim, March 1996, on a Boots course (attended by the wonderful
Audrey McAnaw
). Later that year moved to Colchester then left Boots & did locums. Took a year off 98-99 and travelled around SE Asia, Australia & NZ, then back to the UK to locum. Then manager with Moss at Holland-on-Sea & then Mersea Island. Then took off to Australia in 2000. Now we both work for UFS Dispensaries in Ballarat, Victoria. I have managed the pharmacy in Buninyong for 18 years which has included 6 months off to travel around South America & southern Europe as well as two maternity leaves Sophie (2005) & Hannah (2008). Tim & I got married in 2003 in Hawaii. It was a compromise as I wanted to get married & Tim wanted to go on holiday so as Hawaii had no residency period for getting married we did both! Unsure why my yearbook entry lists cooking as a hobby as I don't cook, meal plan, or enter a supermarket, that's what my husband is for!!
