Simon Hay

Job Titles:

My background is almost exclusively in multiple pharmacy operators working at Boots then Co-operative Pharmacy/Well. During this time I worked in marketing, retail field management, property and professional services. I've always had a passion and a strong belief that pharmacists can do so much more than just dispense, and in this role I can work to promote that vision to pharmacists and commissioners. In addition to working for the LPC I am a Clinical Adviser with the NHS, a director of a pharmacy services company, and occasional locum.
