Testimonials: Mentoring

Pharmacy mentoring

I’m proud to say that Nina is an excellent mentor. We have developed such rapport from the day we both met during my MSc course and it has been going strong since. Nina’s strength lies in showing empathy, active listening and her caring attitude in providing support and guidance to mentees in their professional and skills development. Her role as Consultant Pharmacist and Visiting Professor are testimony to this. The publications of her many work and the tools she had developed are widely used in general and specialist pharmacy services.

I was fortunate to work with Nina Barnett [ 2013-2019] whilst I was transitioning from a junior to a senior pharmacist role.  As a mentor she was able to guide me through what seemed impossibly challenging tasks and situations, through her coaching I was able develop techniques to problem solve and manage challenging conversations with both patients and professionals. With the skills and techniques, I developed I have been able to utilise these in a vast range of environments from board meetings to patient consultations.
