Join an eventful evening with our expert speakers Vice-Chair of the NPA Olivier Picard and Pharmacist Richard Brown.

Olivier has been a community pharmacists for almost 20 years. He trained as a pharmacist in France, but has spent most of his working life in the UK.

He was an area manager in Moss Pharmacy and established his own pharmacy business in 2006.

He has worked with the PSNC on rural pharmacy matters. He has been active promoting pharmacy on local and national BBC stations.

Richard is a pharmacist and has extensive experience working as the Chief Officer of Community Pharmacy Avon whilst also running a successful community pharmacy, Chippenham Pharmacy and Health Clinic, a Pharmacy Consulting business, BRR Consulting and an online training company, Virtual Outcomes. He has successfully set up a pharmacy from scratch that blends NHS services with private services.  With three consultation rooms, a clinic waiting area and no retail space, the vision for this pharmacy is truly futuristic.

His passion for supporting and promoting community pharmacy has led to the successful deployment of the newly commissioned NHS Pharmacy First Service, with the highest consultation numbers across England for both clinic pathways and minor illness. His vision for the future of community pharmacy is for the highly skilled pharmacy team to be offering both preventative health advice to stop people becoming ill, whilst also supporting people with a diagnosed condition.  That way pharmacies can truly be part of the local community.

Richard also has a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry and is currently a Senior Visiting Lecturer at the University of Bath, Pharmacy and Pharmacology department.

Darshan is an adept PCN and community pharmacist, possesses a profound understanding of the evolving landscape of primary and community care. His insights into the shifting workloads are pivotal for pharmacists striving to meet the objectives outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan and the GP Recovery Plan. With a firm belief in the transformative potential of Pharmacy First services, Darshan sees these as foundational to a clinical future that aligns with the rigorous training pharmacists undergo. He envisions these services as a stepping stone to broaden the scope of pharmacists’ knowledge and expertise.

As a superintendent pharmacist and the director of an independent pharmacy, Darshan’s commitment extends beyond his administrative duties. He is passionate about postgraduate education and takes great satisfaction in imparting knowledge through teaching. For Darshan, it’s about channelling his passion into a purposeful direction, shaping the future of pharmacy with every endeavour.
