Terry’s interest in a pharmacy career began when she undertook work experience at her local community pharmacy and this led her to pursue a career as a pharmacist. She graduated from the School of Pharmacy at the University of Nottingham in 2005 and went on to complete her pre-registration year with Boots. She worked as a community pharmacist with Boots and completed her Postgraduate Diploma in Community Pharmacy before becoming a Boots Teaching Practitioner at the School of Pharmacy, University of Reading in 2010. Following this role in academia she moved to a full time post as a Senior Teaching Fellow at the School of Pharmacy, University College London, in 2014. In 2021, Terry was recognised a Senior Fellow with Advance HE. In addition to teaching, Terry continues to work regularly in community pharmacy to maintain her practice.
Terry has pursued both clinical and education related research and scholarship.
She has an interest in pharmacy education, in particular the use of the technology to support teaching, learning and assessment, and also teaching innovation. She is currently working with colleagues at UCL and also Monash University in Melbourne and University of North Carolina to pursue these areas.
Other work includes a Teaching and Learning Project at the University of Reading, in collaboration with colleague, Catherine Langran on Improving communication skills in MPharm Students.
Terry is responsible for developing the practice curriculum in oncology with the support of the cancer and haematology pharmacists at University College Hospital, London. It is through this collaboration that Terry started to explore her interest in pharmacy practice related research. In October 2017, she was awarded the BOPA-PRUK Research Award. The BOPA-PRUK Research Award is a personal research grant of up to £5000 designed to help UK-based pharmacy professionals start their career in pharmacy research. The project is titled, “An acceptability study for the use of web-based video consultations in patients receiving lifelong treatment for Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML)”.
