Camila Becker graduated as a Pharmacist in Brazil and completed the conversion course (OSPAP) at the University of Brighton, having now worked in the UK as a qualified Pharmacist since 2012.

She undertook her pre-registration training year at The Whittington Hospital. She has since worked in different areas in the hospital setting (Medical admissions, Surgery, Cardiology, Respiratory, Head & Neck Surgery, Medicines information, Haematology, Renal) while also working at Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.
