Pharmacist – Marika Shimokawa-Kelly

Accreditations: MPharm

Background: "I completed my Pharmacy degree at University College London and went on to complete my pre-registration training and final exams whilst working in a community pharmacy. I have worked within the online pharmacy field since 2018 which has allowed me to improve accessibility of healthcare to patients which has always been very important to me."

Why Superdrug Online Doctor? "As more people are looking to the internet for information about health conditions, it’s really important we are able to provide accurate and useful information. My hope is that this empowers our patients to become more actively involved in the decisions made about their healthcare, and take control of their health. I find working for an online healthcare provider rewarding as it allows us to treat patients that prefer the discretion we can provide, or simply the convenience to fit better into their lifestyles, when they may otherwise delay seeking treatment."
