CLINICAL PHARMACY PARTNERS, LLC
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Clinical Pharmacy Partners was formed by two experienced clinical pharmacists. Together we have over 40 years of pharmacy experience and worked in every type of pharmacy practice. One of the most important aspects of pharmacy is the care of the patient. For the past 2 years, Brenda and Kevn have had the unique opportunity to experience “life on the other end of the tubing”. Brenda required a central line with daily infusions and Kevn has become a care partner. Together they have learned the challenges faced by patients and the skills needed for success. . This very unique perspective has allowed them to create patient focused teaching materials and teach both patients and clinicians to manage patients, write policies and assess the care provided from a patient focused point of view. This first hand experience has greatly enhanced their own clinical practices and formed the basis for multiple presentations and publications including a feature in Infusion (NHIA) on the lessons they learned. Brenda has been in practice since 1996 in a large variety of pharmacy settings including inpatient, outpatient, long term care and managed care with an emphasis in Specialty and Home Infusion. She has advanced training and expertise in nutrition and pediatrics. Starting her career as a pediatric pharmacy resident, after completing her degrees at the University of Mississippi and the University of Maryland, she advanced her practice from entry level and mid-management to serve as the Director of Pharmacy for a mail order / institutional care pharmacy as well as served as a national trainer and clinical leader for a specialty and home infusion company. She has also worked in international healthcare projects and has advanced skills in serving special populations. Most recently she was National Director of Pharmacy for a large home infusion provider. Currently, she serves as an accreditation surveyor for Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) in specialty and infusion pharmacy, long term care, infusion nursing, and basic medical equipment. She is a sterile compounding inspector (out of state licenses) for the Texas Board of Pharmacy. Brenda maintains licensure in multiple states. Her expertise has been recognized by her colleagues as she was invited to serve on the Board of Directors for National Board for Nutrition Support Certification and the Canadian Vascular Access Association. She has served on committees for national organizations including American Society Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP), American Society of Parenteral Nutrition (ASPEN) and Infusion Nurses Society (INS). Additionally she is members of multiple other professional societies. Locally in Florida, she serves as President for the Florida Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition. As both a clinician and consumer, she is very active with the Oley Foundation and was recently award the 2014 Nan Couts Award for Patient Advocacy and Support.
