Sharon Hartles - Critical Criminologist

Interesting Peter @brexitrage.bsky.social I’ve done a lot of research/writing on Primodos, DES, Mesh, & Sodium Valproate — all areas that raise serious questions about pharmaceutical ethics & patient safety. It seems we share a common interest in ensuring accountability & transparency in this field.

Together we are stronger Sharon. My background is in ethical pharmaceuticals.

Many thanks Karen @karenada59.bsky.social - I really appreciate it. Warm regards, Sharon.

Thank you shared.
