Hi, my name is Shelley Kersh and I have been a registered pharmacist for over 25 years.
I am an independent prescriber and during lockdown became a certified member of the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine by achieving their diploma. I have worked in hospital and retail pharmacy in both England and America and am currently working in a GP practice which I love.
The past 25 years has been all about managing patients’ symptoms but now I feel I want to turn my journey on its head and help my patients prevent their symptoms.
My aim is to make people feel the best version of themselves. I want people to believe they are living their best lives in a way that they can control, whether that be through their diet, daily movement, sleep or stress and relaxation.
In modern society, many of the diseases causing the greatest morbidity and mortality, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and depression are strongly linked to lifestyle choices.
They say you can’t control the uncontrollable, but through lifestyle medicine you can control the way you are feeling and ultimately the way you live your happiest, healthiest life. Big journeys start with small steps - these are the conscious changes we can make to our daily routine to enable us to feel the best we possibly can.
Allow me to help guide you through the immense sea of information thrown at us.
Here’s where my story ends and your journey begins.
