Speaker
Matthew Peters
Mathew has an extensive background in community pharmacy working as a pharmacist and pharmacy manager across the sector. His passion for pharmacy services stemmed from early on in his career progressing to develop services with Rowlands and Numark to pursue this avenue further. Being part of the Local Pharmaceutical Committee as a CCA representative, enabled Mathew to gain much experience of contractors wants and needs, as well as meeting the needs of the public in their communities. Mathew joined the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) in 2022 as a Senior Professional Services Manager to provide members with access to clinical services which in turn supports the service agenda for community pharmacists. Mathew’s focus has been on developing working relationships with pharma and clinical business partners to grow service delivery and provide the necessary disease awareness and education for pharmacists and their teams to support this goal.
