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.
