Secondary students attended a workshop on personalised medicines, sustainability and future careers with pharmacist Dr Maria Carvalho.

Dr Carvalho spoke about the future of pharmaceuticals and how personalised medicines promote sustainability by supporting SDG 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), SDG 9 (Industry and Innovation) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption).

After a talk, students went to the laboratory where they created a personalised medicine to prescription, as per the process followed by pharmacists, under the guidance of Dr Carvalho.

St George’s is very grateful to all its guest speakers. Please contact us if you would like to speak to students about future opportunities.
