Mr Kieran Reynolds

Kieran graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), Dublin and completed his pre-registration training in St. James' Hospital, Dublin. He then went on to complete his residency training at St George’s Hospital, Tooting, while also completing his diploma in general pharmacy practice.

He then completed a number of general and specialist rotations and since 2018, he has worked as a highly specialist hepatology pharmacist. He completed his independent prescribing qualification specialising in hepatitis B, and independently manages a large cohort of patients with chronic hepatitis B. He also leads and manages the provision of a hepatitis C treatment clinic in a local drug and alcohol centre.

He champions the role of specialist pharmacists in providing specialist care and using our skills and knowledge to promote safe access to medicines and to improve patient experience.

His interests lie in patient safety, novel service delivery, tackling health inequalities and improving access to specialist medicines.

Reason for applying for the scheme

As a specialist pharmacist, Kieran has made significant clinical contributions to the services he works in, and the patients he cares for. Now, he has a desire to compliment his clinical skills with further experience and knowledge of leadership and management. He aspires to be a great leader, continuing to inspire and motivate those around him to drive change and provide the best possible care.

This scheme provides him with a unique opportunity to work alongside and learn from senior healthcare leaders and decision makers, to develop himself both personally and professionally. Previous and current clinical fellows speak highly of the skills acquired and experiences encountered and this has enhanced his drive and enthusiasm to be part of the scheme.
