Miss Fatema Jessa

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence 2021/22
Chief Pharmaceutical Officer's Clinical Fellow Scheme 2021/22

Fatema is currently based at NICE. After completing her preregistration year in community pharmacy, she moved to hospital pharmacy where she gained over 10 years of valuable experience within a district general hospital as well as a specialist tertiary referral centre. She successfully completed her post graduate clinical diploma and achieved her independent prescribing qualification specialising in primary biliary cholangitis.

Her most recent role has been as the Principal Pharmacist for Hepatology, Gastroenterology and Nutrition at the Royal Free Hospital (RFH), London. She has led on several service improvement projects including introducing the first independent pharmacist-led hepatology clinic at RFH. She also collaborated with an external organisation to create and roll out a digital shared care interface across primary and tertiary care within North Central London to improve patient access to medication. Additionally, she is the lead pharmacist for the viral hepatitis service across the North Central London Operational Delivery Network.

Fatema is also keenly interested in education and training. She is a diploma tutor and has been a speaker at national conferences as well as contributing to CPPE training materials and to the Pharmaceutical Journal.

Having grown up in several different countries, Fatema has a keen interest in global health provision and access to healthcare. She helped set up a charitable project to provide access to healthcare in the rural villages of Tanzania. She was part of several community service initiatives during this time and conquered Mt Kilimanjaro in order to fundraise for street children in Dar Es Salaam.

Reason for applying for the scheme

Fatema has applied for the fellowship to gain further insight into how strategic healthcare decisions are made on a national scale and to work with senior leaders within the NHS and other organisations. She is excited for this opportunity to learn and develop her leadership, organisational and management skills by leading on national projects and hopes to utilise these skills to improve access to care and health related outcomes both locally and nationally.
