Before transitioning to academia full-time, Dr. Gault had a significant career in community pharmacy, spending 10 years working for Boots across the northeast region. During this time, she also served in an internal training role, supporting trainee pharmacists and newly qualified pharmacists, and delivered services training including vaccination programs.
She graduated with an MPharm degree from Aston University in 2009 and completed her pre-registration year with Boots in Blaydon. Her practical experience in community pharmacy provides valuable real-world context to her academic teaching and research.
