Dr Carl R. Schneider

Profile

I joined Aston University in October 2010 after undertaking a PhD at UWA titled:Provision of non-prescription medication by community pharmacists in Australia.  The PhD was supported by a scholarship from the Asthma Foundation of Western Australia.

I also have practiced as a registered pharmacist in the United Kingdom and Australia with experience in hospital and community pharmacy.

Prior to registering as a pharmacist I undertook a nursing degree and worked as a registered nurse specialising in respiratory medicine.
