Since then, she\u2019s gone on to compete at 22 national and international competitions, including competing as part of the Junior Great Britain team at World and European Championships for three consecutive years.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, she took gold in the bench press at the European Championships in Malta and secured another gold at the English Open \u2013 earning her place on the England team.<\/p>\n<p>Balancing a career in the NHS with elite sport takes commitment. Working as a pharmacist four days a week, she heads straight to training after work, maintaining a disciplined routine of structured training, recovery, and meal prep.<\/p>\n<p>Caitlin\u2019s dedication has led to impressive personal bests of a 170kg back squat, 116kg bench press, and 175kg deadlift \u2013 with even bigger goals in sight.<\/p>\n<p>Working for the trust has helped shape her mindset too: \u201cIt makes you appreciate your body and what it can do \u2013 and I feel really supported working here. Everyone is really invested in how I\u2019m getting on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the Commonwealth Championships just a few months away, Caitlin is now deep in training, focusing on making the most of her first opportunity to compete for England.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re incredibly proud of you Caitlin. Good luck and we\u2019ll be cheering you on the whole way!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria.nhs.uk\/media-centre\/news-and-blogs\/news-stories\/northumbria-pharmacist-compete-england-commonwealth-powerlifting-championships\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publish date: 16 June 2026 Northumbria pharmacist to compete for England at Commonwealth powerlifting championships Caitlin Baxter, one of our clinical pharmacists, is celebrating an incredible achievement \u2013 winning gold in her category at the English Powerlifting Championships and being selected to represent England at the Commonwealth Championships in Winnipeg, Canada this September.
