Inês Marques

Inês Marques is a Quality Coordinator at Correia Rosa Pharmacies.

‘My name is Inês. I was born in 2001. I have a degree in Biomedical Pharmacy from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Coimbra and a master’s degree in Health Services Management from ISCTE.

During my final year of my master’s degree, much to my delight, the opportunity arose to undertake an internship at Correia Rosa Pharmacies in the Projects and Training Department, which turned out to be a real challenge and, at the same time, a great opportunity for both personal and professional growth.

In order to build on the work I carried out during my work placement, having come to understand and identify with the values of Correia Rosa Pharmacies, I accepted the challenge of continuing to work within the now renamed Quality Department. I am very happy and determined to make a positive contribution towards achieving the objectives that have been set!

Exercise takes up a large part of my free time; I love reading (and lending my books to my colleagues) and I never say no to dinners out and get-togethers with friends.’

In a word, I am...

If you could solve one problem in the world, which one would you choose and why?

The lack of access to quality education worldwide, as I believe that education is the foundation for personal and social development. Equitable access to education across the globe would enable people to have more and better opportunities, allowing them to make informed decisions and contribute to building fairer and more sustainable societies.

Is there a book that has had a lasting impact on you?

The book I ALWAYS recommend whenever people ask me for book suggestions: *How Far Would You Go for the Love of Your Life?* by Abbie Greaves. The book’s central message revolves around the transformative power of love, showing how it can drive us to face our fears, overcome adversity and, often, make sacrifices for the sake of those we love. At the same time, it raises ethical and emotional questions about how far it is healthy or fair to go, striking a balance between passion and personal boundaries.

Has any experience in a pharmacy setting helped you become a better professional?

Without a doubt, collecting responses from customers to the questionnaire I drew up as part of my Master’s thesis to assess customer satisfaction with the services provided by Correia Rosa Pharmacies. Experiences involving people inevitably shape our personality and contribute not only to our personal development, but also to our professional development..

Has there been an experience in your life that has left a lasting impression on you?

I’m not sure if I can call it a life experience, but the first event that sprang to mind, almost without having to think about it, was the birth of my youngest brother (aged 19), my Xavi.

A song that inspires you?

A song that inspires me – as it’s one I listen to quite often when I need a bit of extra motivation or simply when I’m relaxing – is ‘Tata’ by Slow J.
