Dr Hendrix starts a new position at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The CRE in Frailty and Healthy Ageing wishes hearty congratulations to Dr Ivanka Hendrix on her new position as Deputy Director, Clinical Pharmacy Services at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Dr Hendrix had been working as a postdoctoral research fellow with the CRE in Frailty and Healthy Ageing with a research focus on the quality use of medicine in older people.
“I have really enjoyed working with the CRE in Frailty and Healthy Ageing. It was a wonderful opportunity to collaborate with a number of experts in the area of deprescribing of medications in Older People but also to work closely with consumers and to be involved in consumer education” said Dr Hendrix.
During her time with the centre Dr Hendrix was also the convener of the 2017 Frailty and Healthy Ageing Research Showcase, a community event that allowed members of the public to hear the latest in frailty and healthy ageing research and to chat directly with researchers.
Dr Ivanka Hendrix has previously worked as a senior clinical pharmacist at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Older Person's Mental Health unit and lecturer in applied pharmacology at the School of Nursing, the University of Adelaide. She was also clinical educator of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Pharmacy Department and involved in teaching of both medical and pharmacy students.
The CRE in Frailty and Healthy Ageing would like to thank Dr Hendrix for her work with the CRE and wish her all the best in her fantastic new role.
