Honoured to be made a Fellow of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society. Still can't quite believe it. Huge thanks to Antonio for the nomination and all who supported me. Celebrating with a beer by the sea in West Wales!

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Clinical Lead Pharmacist for the National Strategic Clinical Network for Maternity and Neonatal Services within NHS Wales Executive.
My first task is to work out how I'm meant to fit all that on a bio!

Yesterday we launched the second cohort of the all Wales Community of Practice for Consultant Pharmacist Credentialing. It was a great day, thanks to all the experts who came to speak. I'm really excited to see the enthusiasm for consultant pharmacist practice in Wales #PharmSky

Our antimicrobial pharmacy team doing a great job this world antimicrobial awareness week #WAAW2024. Highlighting the carbon and plastic waste of IV vs oral antibiotics. A week of IV co-trimoxazole has an equivalent CO2 emission to a flight from Cardiff to Amsterdam!

Today is #WorldPrematurityDay. As a neonatal pharmacist and proud dad to premature twins, I see firsthand the resilience of these little fighters and the strength of families everywhere. Thinking today of all those babies and families going through the difficult journey. 💜 #NeoSky

A friendly reminder to #NeoSky on a pet topic:
PPIs have very little evidence of benefit in neonates and potential for harm.
We did a systematic review of acid suppression after TOF/OA (EA/TEF) repair and found no benefit: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Does paracetamol use for PDA closure in preterm neonates result in adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes? Our review in Acta paediatrica:

Good piece on the problems around drug choice in assisted suicide unherd.com/2024/11/the-...

There's a growing crowd of neonatologists & early life folk here. Can we restore how things were in the old days in the old place by sharing threads about new studies - our own, or others'?

Great time at NPPG conference this weekend catching up with lots of people and learning a lot. Particularly enjoyed the session by @drmikefarquhar.bsky.social on sleep, thanks for coming to speak to us.
I was presenting a couple of posters, luckily they were next to each other for the photo!

🌟 Hello Bluesky Community! 🌟
It's starting to get a bit busier over here so I thought I'd better start posting! I’m Tom, a pharmacist specialising in neonatology & metabolic disease. I’m passionate about making prescribing safer, PN and embedding pharmacy into the MDT.
