NPA appoints new managers to help its members
Two new managers to help community pharmacists develop their businesses have been appointed by the National
Pharmaceutical Association.
Neal Patel, the new NHS liaison manager, will work at national level
to gather information about NHS policy that will impact on community
pharmacy and develop networks within the Department of Health. By identifying
significant areas of emerging policy at an early stage, the NPA will
be able to work with the NHS for the benefit of community pharmacy and
keep NPA members informed. Mr Patel is a former group pharmacy manager
for Boots The Chemists.
Raj Nutan, who was until recently a Moss Pharmacy regional professional
development manager, has been appointed to the post of NPA pharmacy business
manager. He will seek to develop and promote business opportunities for
NPA members, both within the NHS and more generally. These may include
opportunities for lowering business costs, for maximising profits or
for streamlining operations. |
